Coquelin on Alexis, Ozil and victory

Francis Coquelin spoke to Arsenal Player after Arsenal's 3-0 win over Stoke City. Read on for a transcript of what he said:

on the victory…
Everyone played very well. You know it’s going to be a tough game against Stoke - it’s never easy. The goal we scored in the first half helped us to develop our game and we were really happy to come out of the game with a win.

on the timing of the goals…
It’s always difficult when you come back from the first half. You’ve done a lot but you don’t know if you have to attack or defend, and I think the third goal helped us a lot. After that, we just needed to keep the result by playing our game and I think that’s what we did today.

on the physical challenge…
You know the midfield is always going to be a battle in every single game, especially against Stoke. They’re a physical team but I think everyone is very pleased to get the three points and now we move onto the next game.

on playing regularly…
As long as the team wins, I’m happy, so if I can help the team, I just give the best every time I’m on the pitch.

on Alexis Sanchez…
He’s a top player. Every game he just puts in great performances. He scored another two goals today and I think he’s been great since the beginning of the season. I hope he carries on this way.

on Mesut Ozil…
We’ve been really unlucky with the injuries and now everyone’s slowly coming back to the team. Obivously we have Aaron on the bench, Theo came back a few weeks ago and now Mesut, so it’s a big lift for us and they’ll help us in the next game.

on consistency…
We know that offensively we have players who can score goals. We need to defend like we have done in the last two games, so we need to carry on that way. We know we’re going to score so we just need to not concede.
