Arsene Wenger on the win, Giroud's goal and the title race

By

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was satisfied with his side's 3-0 win against West Ham United as the Gunners continue their chase for a top four finish.

Striker Olivier Giroud was again on target for the hosts with Aaron Ramsey and Mathieu Flamini adding two more goals late in the game.

The win is Arsenal's eighth win in their last nine league games as they move to just six points from leaders Chelsea.

"It's a good performance," Wenger said after the game.

"We controlled the game in the first half, created many chances but couldn't score.

"In the second half I felt we were a bit short of energy coming out of the dressing room for a while and West Ham were on top for that period.

"After, in the final part of the game, we always looked dangerous and capable of scoring goals. We had to patient, organised and steady. Overall we scored great collective goals like we love to play.

"We've won eight of the last nine and we are stronger today than we were at the start of the season. We dropped off in this league because we won one of six at the start of the season.

"Today we are a different team. We suffered a lot from the post-World Cup fixtures. Players came back and they weren't ready to play.

"It was a fantastic goal [Olivier Giroud's goal] because it's a consequence of a fantastic combination just before and after. On top of that the finishing was great. It's the kind of goal we love to score. On top of that Giroud had a great finish."
