​Arsenal midfielder Xhaka on Leicester win: We must bring this energy every game

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka believes they have to produce the same energy in all their games as they did against Leicester City.

The Gunners were at their purring best as they decimated Brendan Rodgers' Foxes at the King Power Stadium.

Arsenal made it a miserable few days for Leicester by winning 3-1 in the Premier League on Sunday, and Xhaka wants to see such form more often.

"I think we started very slowly," Xhaka told the club's website.

"After my mistake when we conceded the goal, I think the team went a little bit up.

"We knew it would be very difficult after the Europa League game, after the travelling and everything else, to be ready for 12pm. It wasn't easy but I think in the end we deserved to win today. We did a really, really good game after 10 minutes. A really important three points for us.

"We know that they have very good midfielders, they have a very good team as well. They try to play football but we won today a lot of duels, a lot of 50-50 balls and the goals were beautiful and I am so happy for the team.

"We have to do it game by game [now], not for three games, not for four, we have to constantly be like this, with this energy, this team spirit and after I am looking forward to us doing something."
