Arsenal boss Wenger says Chelsea win has boosted self-belief inside squad

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger feels victory at Chelsea has boosted the players' self-belief.

Having overcome Chelsea, he thinks his team will now go into any match against major opposition thinking they can win.

"For us it was a massive test, first quality-wise and second to see if we could compete in terms of quality with top teams," Wenger said.

"Nobody knew (whether we could) before the game. It was also a test to see if we were capable of winning when playing well, and we did.

"It was the team's first big win together and before the game in their heads there was uncertainty about whether they could win a big game.

"It was a very exciting game with goals. It was an enjoyable weekend."
