Captain Francesc Fabregas has admitted that he's worried the current goal glut in the side will come to an end.

The Gunners are on a free-scoring run of form, averaging two clear goals per game, with the goals 'for' column most recently being at least 3 or 4 goals.

But there is a problem with a lack of focus in the side, as the team has been conceding late goals and the captain is worried that if the goal glut comes to an end, these late goals might be more costly than they currently are.

Arsenal emerged as 4-1 winners over the weekend against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but were leading 4-0 going into the last few minutes of the game.

Fabregas said: "We do worry about the goals coming to an end. We talk about what will happen if they stop.

"It is great when we are scoring so many goals and we have a threat all over the team, but we know that we have to keep that right the way through.

"There is no point scoring goals like we are until December and then it ends. That will not win the title.

"So the fear that the run will come to an end is keeping us focused because we want to win the title and we know we have to carry on."

Winger Andrey Arshavin was pleased with his performance against Wolves.

The Russian international scored the fourth goal in the match but said on his official site that it wasn't a victory to be especially pleased about.

Arshavin insists that the level of quality within the Arsenal side is much higher, so it wasn't a big surprise to win by such a large margin.

He said: "I believe that today we can not say that Arsenal had a remarkable game. It's just that the class of players in our team is much higher.

"We took advantage of those moments that we created on the counterattack. These attacks ended up as goals. In the second half we calmly brought the game to a victorious close."
