Unai Emery's men came into the match off the back of two defeats from their opening two matches, but they were able to put their poor start behind them to grind out a victory over fellow early season strugglers West Ham. It was't entirely convincing, but after a slow start, earning three points was the most important thing.
Torreira played his part in the victory, coming off of the bench to help beef up the midfield during the later stages of the second half. Despite the victory, the Uruguayan insisted that he and his teammates need to do better.
“This
win will give us a confidence boost so now it’s about continuing to
improve and continuing to work hard as a team – that’s the most
important thing,” Torreira told Arsenal's official website.
"I’m
pleased that we’ve got the win at home against a very good team in West
Ham after starting the season with two defeats. I was happy to get on
too and help the team.
