Wenger excited after Arsenal side show true quality

Arsene Wenger knew his Arsenal team would put their best foot forward at some stage this season and he is thrilled that it is now.

The Gunners are in a very good moment after some huge wins in their past three outings after two horror losses to Sunderland in the FA Cup and AC Milan in the Champions League.

But a 5-2 victory over Tottenham, last Saturday's 2-1 win at Liverpool and Tuesday night's 3-0 second leg victory over Milan - plus previous come-from-behind wins over Aston Villa in the FA Cup and Sunderland in the league - has Wenger excited about the remainder of the campaign.

"We can play at a pace that, at the moment, maybe nobody else can sustain. When we are on our roles, that is good for the morale of the team," he said.

"If you look at the times we have reversed games; Villa, Tottenham, Liverpool, Sunderland and now Milan, you would say there is something special in there.

"I always believed in the spirit and quality of this team. I am sure if we keep going that will come out and the target until the end of the season is to be faithful to that."
