Arsene Wenger has hailed Arsenal’s “intensity” after Saturday’s resounding 4-1 victory against Liverpool.
The Gunners further strengthened their hopes of a top-four finish after goals from Hector Bellerin, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud.
Wenger was delighted with the way his side set about harassing their opponents, especially during a frenetic opening to the game.
"Overall I’m happy with the cohesion, the urgency and the desire"

“We started with intensity, we decided to do that before the game and I must say credit to the players because they did it in a convincing way,” the manager told Arsenal Player.
“It is a great result and before the game we would have signed for that. We played with good intensity, took advantage of our strong moments and one or twice we maybe [got] lucky, but overall I’m happy with the cohesion, the urgency, the desire.
“The quality of our movement around the box was great, so overall it is a good day.
“We’re in a strong position. It is down to us to remain as consistent as we are at the moment, and we can look back with a little distance and up front because Man City are [there] and we have to wait to see their result. We will do as well as we can until the end.”
