Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal's FA Cup quarter-final victory over Manchester United can motivate them for the remainder of the season.
The Gunners defeated their arch rivals 2-1 at Old Trafford to book a semi-final spot at Wembley for the second year in a row after clinching the cup last term.
Wenger feels the win has strengthened his side's resolve and has backed them to kick on and secure a top-four finish in the Premier League and turn the tables on Monaco in the Champions League after losing the Round of 16 first leg 3-1 at home last month.
"Last year we played a tricky game at Wembley in the semi-final (against Wigan Athletic) and we expect that again," said Wenger whose side will play the winner of the Bradford City v Reading replay.
"Tonight I thought we played well and deserved to win the game.
"We had to start without apprehension and play at a a high pace and we did that well.
"We live in the real world and want to compete in every competition.
"This result can give us good morale for the Premier League and the game in Monaco (on March March 18).
"I think what is the most important when you're a manager is that the team performs at a good level - and that's what we did."
