Aaron Ramsey feels victory at Manchester City can spark Arsenal's season.

The Gunners have not won more than two successive Barclays Premier League games this season, but Ramsey hopes that will now change in light of Sunday's victory over the champions.

"We have got a lot to play for this year so hopefully now we can build on this performance and that will give us even more confidence going into the business end of the season," the Arsenal midfielder said.

"There is still a long way to go in this league. Many teams are taking points off each other. We will just have to concentrate on our own game and hopefully go on a big run and see where that takes us at the end.

"It was important to win because all the other teams won. The pressure was on us.

"Manchester City have made this place a fortress over the years. Not many teams come away with three points so we are delighted with the way we went about it and we are happy we closed the gap."
