Wenger hails 'relentless' Gunners

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes their ability to "attack relentlessly" gave them the edge over Watford in a 3-0 win at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

Second-half goals from Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey handed the Gunners their third straight win in the Premier League to remain in second place, two points behind early pace-setters Manchester City.

The three goals were scored in the space of 12 minutes and Wenger praised his side for another ruthless display, having seen them breach the opposition defences 11 times in their last three league outings.

Ahead of an important week for the north Londoners, who face Bayern Munich in a crunch Champions League clash on Tuesday, Wenger is confident his team can cause problems for anyone with their swift counter-attacking football.

He told Arsenal Player: "I like that we continued to attack relentlessly until the end and to finish with it was a convincing win.

"We scored five at Leicester, we scored three against Watford today, who had only conceded one [at home], so that tells you we can score goals and we can be dangerous against anybody.

"We faced a team that was very well organised, very strong in their challenges and very direct as well.

"It took us a while to adjust to that level of commitment and when we did it in the second half we dominated the game and after the first goal you could see that mentally and physically they got the blow.

"Sometimes the first goal changes the game. When they had to come out it was much easier for us. We know once we are in full power, we are quick in transition and we can kill teams off with our pace and that is what happened."
