Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger is delighted with the win over City and is confident of winning the EPL.
“He was planned to be on the bench tonight but he is so keen that he got a little pain and we didn’t take a gamble at all”.
“We are in the fight for the Premier League title”.
“We are six and four points behind the two leaders, in this case Leicester and Arsenal, but we have a lot of games”.
“In football you need one guy who gives the ball to the one who scores the goal”, the Frenchman said.
“Ozil had a chest infection this weekend and he was in bed, basically. For a guy who could not prepare well he has done very well”. “I believe he has developed his physical attributes, his physical commitment, you see a desire to win”. He also said that Ozil has realised he could help Arsenal in every game.

“I believe we have shown… spirit, organisation, brilliance and altogether they gave us the three points”, a beaming Wenger told Sky Sports. You come out and realise you have earned your right to win these games and for us it is important.
“Of course, that makes it worse because I think we did better than Arsenal”. I am very proud of the attitude of the team though.

“We have to go game by game and concentrate on having a game-plan and trying to implement it. That has been our strength against the big teams and it makes us stronger as a unit”.
