Arsene Wenger is confident that they will keep up the momentum after Arenal came from behind to defeat Stoke City 3-1.
Charlie Adam gave Stoke City the lead after scoring from the spot. Theo Walcott equalised for the Gunners at the stroke of 42 minutes. Further strikes from Mesut Ozil and Alex Iwobi sealed the three points for the North Londoners and fired them to the top spot uprooting Chelsea.
In a big blow to Arsenal, defender Shkodran Mustafi had to be substituted after suffering a hamstring injury and will miss at least three weeks on the sidelines. Wenger’s side now are unbeaten in 14 matches in the Premier League.
The Frenchman said,
“We have scored many goals this week and had an excellent run, so let’s keep the focus and keep it going on
“We had a hesitant start, but when you play every few days sometimes it takes you time to get into a rhythm and today that is what happened.”
He went on to add, “We got a very unlucky penalty against us because it is not even a foul in my opinion. But we have shown great mental strength.
“Everybody was amazed (by the penalty) and I haven’t seen it yet but it was of course a blow for us. Mentally it was good for morale to get back to 1-1 before half time.”
