Wenger: 'It is better today to win than lose and rest players'

"The first target was to win the game. At 2-0, you could see maybe the thought of the Champions League started a little bit to resurface or surface, but it was a very good game against a Middlesbrough team who played in a very positive way.

"We dominated it, we made some brilliant passing and some brilliant combinations - especially the first goal, I believe was absolutely outstanding.

"You could see the team enjoys the way we play and loves the game."

"It is better today to win than lose and rest players. Fourth place is now not completely definite, but it is 10 points with four games to go. We can focus now on catching Chelsea, because we still have to play them at home."
