Van Persie scored both goals as the Gunners managed an impressive 2-1 win away at Anfield.
“It means a lot,” Van Persie told Sky Sports. “To score at Anfield is big, because Anfield is a massive ground.
“I’m proud of that, but even more proud of this win. I don’t think we really deserved it, to be honest, because Liverpool played better.”
He added: “I think we are 10 points ahead of Liverpool now and we can wait to see what Spurs do tomorrow. It’s a big win, a massive win.”
