Arsenal boss Wenger demands consistency after Villa thrashing

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hopes to maintain a winning consistency after their 5-0 win over Aston Villa.

Despite the convincing way in which lacklustre Villa were dispatched - with goals from Olivier Giroud, Mesut Ozil, Theo Walcott, a Santi Cazorla penalty and a stoppage-time effort from Hector Bellerin - Wenger knows there remains plenty of hard work ahead.

"It is too early to say [Arsenal can still make a challenge for the title]," the Frenchman said. "We are 11 points behind - that means they need to lose four games and we need to win four. I believe that we should try to be consistent and see what happens.

"We have maybe found a better consistency, that will be very important until the end.

"Let's show that we can win more and it shows you as well that when the confidence level is higher and when everybody's back defensively, it makes a difference."
