Wenger 'never questioned' Arsenal mentality

What an important win that was for Arsenal.

"I feel for a few weeks now in training that he is really focused again and that comes out in the game", he added.

"We wanted to keep a clean sheet and the draw as long as possible, or even better to score, and make their fans and players a bit more nervous".

Asked if the team are still playing for the manager, Wenger replied: "I dont know, they play first for the club and for themselves, and of course I am part of the club as well". We have gone through a bad period, but I have never questioned the mentality in the team. "It is coming into motion, you saw some signs at Man City and more today and hopefully it is going to go on and on".

But it was Randolph who would be at fault for Arsenal's opener just before the hour mark as Fonte's poor clearance fell to Ozil, whose strike from the edge of the box squirmed through the grasp of the West Ham goalkeeper.

Bilic said: "I think the players they complained because they thought there was handball". We defended well with numbers.

"It's not can we do it, we have to do it and we've got to do it on Saturday".

State paper says China would protect a denuclearised North Korea
The North is technically at war with the USA and south Korea after the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce and not a peace treaty. In another tweet, he sought to persuade Xi to put pressure on North Korea in exchange for a good trade deal with the U.S.

Both sides went into this London derby in dire form but it was the Gunners who addressed that and ultimately ran out comfortable 3-0 victors, marking their first league win since February 11. We have players back from injuries.

Wenger called for Ozil to receive credit for his performance.

"Mesut is a fantastic player, he has played for Real Madrid, is a World Cup victor and has been through a lot of ups and downs so there is nothing he can't come back from", he said.

Arsenal kept West Ham penned back, but Danny Welbeck was unable to take full advantage, failing to connect with Alexis Sanchez's dinked free-kick before aiming a header too close to Randolph as West Ham held firm until half-time.

While the victory offers at least temporary respite for Wenger and Arsenal, a fifth consecutive defeat for West Ham leaves the club just five points above the relegation zone and its manager Slaven Bilic facing further speculation over his future. "There is only one game for us, and that is game against Swansea on Saturday".

"We're obviously disappointed with the defeat", he said. Because we have to start winning games.
