Arsenal boss hails maturity after win over Chelsea

The Gunners managed a 3-1 win over the Blues at Emirates Stadium on Monday.

“We have matured. We’ve been frustrated in big games away from home his this season,” Wenger told Sky Sports.

“We have been disciplined, matured and played for each other. The first goal played a vital part.

“The focus and discipline of the team was good, even when we had to be less adventurous at some stages.

“We were quite solid. They scored on a set-piece. Drogba takes them very, very well. In open play, we were solid.

“Let’s hope that it strengthens our belief that we can challenge for the championship and it strengthens our belief we’re on the right way.

“There’s still some room for improvement. I’m confident that will encourage the team to continue to practice very hard and to focus well together.”
