Benjani: Manchester City needs to work harder after Arsenal win

Manchester City striker Benjani Mwaruwari knows the club can't rest on their laurels after an emphatic 3-0 win over Arsenal on the weekend.

Benjani, who has recently returned to the line-up after injury, also said he has come back at the right time as the players now seem to understand each other better.

"I think that I came back just at the right time because now everybody knows what to do," he told the club's official website.

"When you have a new manager and new players it can be difficult, and a good manager needs time. By the time I came back everyone knew their role, including me.

"Sometimes, if you win games like we did against Arsenal, you think you are the best but we have got to work hard to win the next one.

"This week will be the toughest week of the season so far, but the win was the perfect way to prepare for it. Three more wins this week would be great."
