Arsene Wenger Pleased With Arsenal Performance

Arsene Wenger believes that Arsenal will be hard to stop during their Champions League if they continue to produces the form that saw them beat Braga 6-0 last night.

The Gunners got their campaign for the Champions League crown, something that Wenger has never won whist in charge of the London club, underway as they dismantled the Portuguese side.

Speaking to the BBC after the match he said: "We want to maintain a high quality in every game we play and we think we can do better.

"We believe when we play like that it will be very hard to stop us. What is important is that we keep our humility and our concentration and then we will have a chance of success."

Arshavin and Chamakh were on the score sheet last night as was Fabregas and Vela, who both scored twice, and Wenger admits that he was pleased with the all round performance of his side.

"What pleased me most was the quality of our collective game, because everyone did really well in patches.

"I believe people who like football will have enjoyed the game because we played exceptionally well. The key now is to balance the competitions that means we will rotate from game to game.

"We play many away games after the Champions League so it's important we deal with that, but the team is hungry and ambitious so I think it is possible."

Arsenal took just seven minutes to get off the mark as a Fabregas penalty got them underway in what was a dominant and confident display for the English club.

Arshavin and Chamaka had both added a goal a piece by the half time whistle and Asrenal were in full control of the match at the end of the first forty five minutes.

Into the second half and Arsenal continued to exploit the huge holes in Braga's defence and after just eight minutes Fabregas had bagged his second of the night after he was left unmarked.

Vela rounded off what was a bad night for Braga as he chipped in the first before firing home a second from a Fabregas pass in the eighty fourth minute.
