Arsenal boss Wenger: Performance + result = seven goal thrashing

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger refused to get carried away after their 7-1 win over Blackburn Rovers.

Captain Robin van Persie fired a hat-trick and England youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain grabbed a brace.

"I do not give much importance to the seven goals, it is just we won and played well," said the Arsenal manager. "I felt that recently we had quite good performances but did not get the results.

"Today we got the performance and the result, which is ideally what you want."

Wenger added: "We remained serious and were guided by the way we want to play football and not by any extravagant individualism.

"We were mature and serious, we played together until the end."
