Wenger on...another home victory
"I think we played well, the confidence is back in the team,
and after a European game we will take the three points. We played
with style and good combinations, sharpness as well, and these a
little bit too much at some stage. As soon as they came back and
made it 2-1 we had a job to do again and scored the third goal
because we wanted Sunderland not to come back."
Wenger on...in-form Robin van Persie
"He has grown a lot yes, he has improved a lot
his link play with other players, that's what I'm the most
pleased… I know we score goals but, I feel that
his relations with other players around him, his awareness is
better, there are very good signs. In his position, when you play
central, that is vital."
Wenger on...Dennis Bergkamp's contribution
"He is a genius in the game, and to play at his
age like he plays, you not only need to be a genius but an example
for everybody because, the life he leads, and the way he practises
every day is a credit to the game... There is no better example for
Robin van Persie than watching Dennis and being inspired by him.
You need a model when you want to play in a position, and Dennis is
a perfect model for him, and he is intelligent enough to copy
Dennis."
Wenger on...moving up to third place in the Premiership
"That's our target and I feel the potential
is there, the quality is there, the belief is there, it depends now
on our consistency, on our winning streak and winning desire. We
want of course to correct now our away form and be inspired by our
European form away from home, and win games away from
home."
