Manager Arsène Wenger has hailed a 'brilliant performance' by his side last night to dispatch Dutch side AZ Alkmaar 4-1 and move a step closer towards Champions League qualification.

Two goals from captain Francesc Fabregas, one from Abou Diaby and another from Samir Nasri helped seal the three points.

The one blemish on the night was the inability to keep a clean sheet, but that shouldn't detract from a devastating performance from Arsenal.

Wenger said: "It was a brilliant performance because we dominated our subject technically, tactically and overall we felt never under threat. We played with the needed confidence, technically astute, overall very happy.

"We are consistent and this season it looks like we go for game to game and get stronger and stronger. It's important to keep that attitude to progress, to improve and to play for each other even more. Then we can believe in our future.

"The competition gets more difficult the further you go on. I believe we have quality and I said before the season started that I believe in this team but it will be down to us to grow as we do at the moment and be consistent. Then we see how far we can go in the competition.

"Let's focus on ourselves and be as good as we can. If we meet somebody who is better, we will see. At the moment it is more important for us to focus on how we want to play and we have played the game tonight like we love."
