He told BBC Match of the Day: "We made it crazy, we played so well at the start of the game. We scored three early goals and then they score one immediately after kick-off and then another one – then it was game on. We have to manage the game – we did that really well. The last two games were tricky and to score goals is a big one."

Arsenal's season appears to be back on track after winning three games in a row in all competitions, scoring 13 goals along the way. They are now second in the Premier League and are six points within table-toppers Liverpool – although the Reds do have a game in hand.
