"The boys were waiting for a long time to do that. It is up for grabs now. The team is really up for it. We are in good shape to fight on three fronts. I believe that maybe the pressure came off the team after the Roma game.
"We played with more freedom, our football was more fluent and our game is coming back. That's down to psychological reasons. We were always very focused and we are on a very consistent run now, so we can go from strength to strength.
"Would we have produced the same performance today had we gone out in midweek? It would have been very difficult. Every game is a challenge. Before we start to dream, we have to play a game every three days.
"Players are coming back from injury now, we have Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor coming back, so we can rotate now but we can't drop off in our performances."
"Arshavin has intelligence, vision and talent and his second goal was an example of that. But I liked Samir Nasri's contribution today also. He looks to have more personality now and his influence is growing.
"Nicklas' overall contribution was also good. His finishing wasn't sharp but he played well. He has power, pace and he understands the game. People forget he is only 20 years old. It is wrong to boo him. But when he left the pitch, the fans clapped him."
