The victory meant alot to the squad as they hope to end the season with a trophy.
Two goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ensured Arsenal's passage to the final of the FA Cup.
The Gabon International is yet to sign a new contract extension with the club and the Gunners are aware he will become a free agent in next season.
Speaking after the game, Arteta said: 'The way he looks at it when I speak with him, he sounds pretty convinced.If he can see the direction we are taking it is the right one, I think he'll be more positive. Hopefully it will help him to be more convinced we are going in the right direction.'
'If we win it will help financially and that will make us stronger,' Arteta added. 'We always agree with the plan we have in place, it's about the possibilities we have and at the moment we are uncertain.'
Arsenal looked like a different side following their recent outings against Manchester City. The defense line was well coordinated by the experienced David Luiz who was always available for all City's crosses into the box.
Arteta added: 'The players are really proud, the way they are fighting for each other. I have a feeling I can play any of those players and they will perform. I'm really happy with the last four or five days. We've beaten probably the best two teams in Europe.'
Recall that during the week, Arsenal defeated newly crowned Champions, Liverpool 2-1 at the Emirates stadium.
