Szczesny: We're stoked after derby win

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny says that the Gunners are "buzzing" ahead of their important Champions League match against Montpellier on Wednesday.

The Gunners face a crucial game against the French outfit in order to qualify for the next round of the Champions League and Szczesny believes that the 5-2 derby win over Tottenham has given them the perfect confidence boost.

"We couldn't get a better time to play that game [against Montpellier]," he told Arsenal's official website. "We are buzzing today, we can't wait for the next game. We're confident.

"We've had a couple of poor results recently, but we're back on track and we're confident that we can get the three points and qualify for the knockout stages, which is the least you can ask from us.

"We want to make sure we do the job properly and qualify."

Arsenal's season has not been smooth so far - they are currently sixth in the table after three losses and four draws - and the goalkeeper has pleaded for the fans to be more patient with them.

"I know that over the last few weeks the fans might have been frustrated, and we understand that completely," he said. "I think the team and the fans work as a unit, and they were fantastic [against Tottenham], they helped us to get a boost before the game and helped keep us going.

"They deserve a lot of credit for the result as well. We're certainly hoping that they can keep it the same and help us to win all the fixtures coming up.

"Obviously, all Premier League games are as important as the next one but I think the fans enjoy it just that little bit more [against Tottenham] - when we won you could see how much they were buzzing after the game.

"At the final whistle there were still 60,000 people there - the only fans who left were the Tottenham fans. It was fantastic."
