The head coach of London’s Arsenal club, Mikel Arteta, commented on the special importance of the victory against Crystal Palace and praised the team's defender Piero Hincapie:

"I told my boys that I value this victory probably more than any other this season.

We knew the difficulty of the matches after playing every three days...

Also, now the crowd is playing along with us. That makes a big difference. Thank you to the Gunners fans."

"Our team’s fans will love P. Hincapie, mark my words.

It’s great to have this Ecuadorian on the pitch. You can quickly see his aggression, dedication, and every action the defender takes."

23-year-old Piero Hincapie has played two matches this season.
