Arsenal boss Wenger delighted with West Ham triumph: Thank-you to everyone

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger thanked fans for their support after victory over West Ham.

The 4-1 result was the ideal response from the players after Wenger announced his end of season departure on Friday.

Wenger said: "I was focused on winning the game. We just tried to be professional and do our job even when the circumstances are different. It was a good team spirit and good preparation for Thursday.

"I think we constructed patiently. We didn't make big mistakes. First of all before winning a trophy, you need to get through the semi-finals. This is a good way to prepare - scoring goals against a strong West Ham team who have done well recently.

"I would like to thank everyone who has been very nice and kind and praised me more than I deserved it. I would like to say thank you everyone. It's been a great period for me and I'm thankful for that."
