Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says winning their last four games has dispelled the gloom of recent disappointing results.

The Gunners are now 13 points off the top four with just seven league games remaining, but can still qualify for next season's Champions League by winning the Europa League.

We were very disappointed with our result against [Manchester] City," said Wenger. "It takes time to grieve and to recover.

"But because the mentality in the team is very good, strong and healthy - we're recovered.

"I think always you judge a team by the way they come out of a crisis. On that front I believe that is very positive on our side.

"There's some extra pressure on us to do extremely well in this competition but that's part of being where we are.

"We have to see it in a way it's an opportunity we want to take and keep the priorities right and of course focus on how well we play together, how we want to play."
