Arsenal star Francis Coquelin believes that the team proved people wrong at the weekend with a victory over Manchester United and urged consistency for the remainder of the season.

The Gunners shocked United on Sunday as they raced into a three-goal lead in under 20 minutes, that the Red Devils couldn’t fight back from.

Arsenal’s victory puts them second in the Premier League, two points behind Manchester City, and Coquelin maintains consistency is the key to a successful title push. Speaking to the club’s official website, he said:

“I think it is a very good performance against a big team. I think everyone expected us not to win today and maybe we proved a lot of people wrong. I think inside the dressing room we knew we could do good things this season.”

“We said it from the beginning of the season that we could be contenders but we have to be consistent. I think the most difficult thing now is to carry on getting the results.”

“In the last three games we haven’t lost against Manchester United. Slowly we are getting stronger against the big teams.”

“We beat Manchester City last season and now Manchester United so I think it is all about consistency. They made this game tough and the small teams are really strong as well and we need to get a result every week.”

Arsenal now face a weekend without domestic football, with many stars on international duty, before several key games that are likely to shape the course of the Gunners season.

A hosting of Watford is followed by a crunch tie against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, before Arsene Wenger’s men travel to Everton, Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City.
