Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has lauded his side’s team spirit and confidence by declaring the 3-0 victory over Watford on Sunday in the English Premier League as an important one.
Wenger’s men went into the game on a barren league run, despite returning to winning ways at AC Milan on Thursday night in the Europa League.
Goals from Shkodran Mustafi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan wrapped up a fairly comfortable win over the Hornets, who had a second-half Troy Deeney penalty saved by Petr Cech.
Wenger, however, felt it was an important win for his side as they look to rebuild their confidence.
“We got the win today and overall it was important to show consistency,” Wenger told Sky Sports.
“We knew before the game that physically it might be a bit difficult but we had a good spirit. The spirit helps to get through these periods and overall that will contribute to the confidence as well.
“In the first half unfortunately, we couldn’t take our chances and then we were under threat. Watford came back strongly in the second half but we did well with set-pieces and got the second goal after Petr Cech made a great save on the penalty.
“Overall it’s a convincing win and an important one. We had a disappointing period and our supporters suffered like we suffered.
“Our job is to perform, to stick together in difficult moments and to get the fans back on our side again,” he said.
