Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger was quick to praise his side after another valuable victory over Everton, but he also attempted to keep the side grounded, emphasising the importance of the players to stay focussed in order to secure a Champions League place next season.
The Arsenal manager said that despite the desperately poor start to the season, the players have turned it around with hard work and an excellent upsurge in form. He warned against Arsenal from now becoming complacent in their position and encouraged his men continue to work and stay on track for a successful season. He said:
“We were in disarray after the first few games [of the season] and the club needed to be strong to turn it around."
“We did that but there is still a lot of work to do. We need to stay focussed because as soon as you ease off the in the Premier League it’s over for you."
“At the moment you play under pressure and every game is a like a cup final. Six points in two games in two weeks on Merseyside [against Liverpool and Everton] is fantastic. I’m proud of the players."
“We need to keep focussed. We’ve gone through a difficult patch and, if we’ve learned something, it’s to stay humble and focussed and work hard.”
Arsenal are now third in the League table having overtaken Tottenham, who could only manage a draw against Stoke City at White Hart Lane. Wenger's men have now won their last five games, scoring an impressive 18 goals, and it is this form which Arsenal will hope to continue to stay above Tottenham, who have won only one of their last six games.
