His side scored five goals and conceded none as they secured the three points which moved them back to the top of the Premier League.
After a dismal 2-0 defeat against PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League last Thursday, this win was just what Arsenal needed with the World Cup break just around the corner.
"Big teams have to respond as quick as possible and we did that after the disappointment of Thursday night," said Arteta.
"You don't have time, you go here Friday evening. One half training session and be ready not only physically but mentally again to another demand against a team that beat Liverpool. The pressure is on, and we need to get used to that." The only thing seemingly missing from Arsenal's victory was a goal for Gabriel Jesus, who has now failed to score in his past seven games.
As the goals flew in during the second half, Arteta began to bring off his key players, but tellingly Jesus played the full 90 minutes despite being a yellow card away from suspension.
