After last night’s 2-1 win over Newcastle United the Arsenal boss said the win was down to his sides “relentless effort.”
After a string of wins the North London side are now only one point behind Spurs, and three points above Chelsea sitting in that all important fourth spot.
Wenger praised his team saying: “What beat them was our relentless effort to win.
“I never thought we wouldn’t win. I said to my assistant that we needed one more attack and we would score.”
“This was a game of absolute commitment on both sides,” Wenger said.
“Newcastle is a good team and it needed something special to beat them
“Newcastle tried to slow us down but we get that many times. We got five minutes extra time and that allowed us to win the game.
“We won in the last minute against Sunderland, Liverpool and now Newcastle. That shows we have absolute commitment.
“They are refusing to lose. That’s fantastic. The team has to be credited for an excellent performance again.”
Theo Walcott who put in a lot of hard work had this to say: “Tottenham have got to be watching over their shoulders now,” adding “With the squad of players we’ve got – and we’ve got a lot of players coming back to fitness now – we believe that we can go much further.
“It’s been an up and down season, but it’s the way you finish, and that’s the most important thing.”
