Wenger hails six-shooting Gunners

Arsene Wenger claimed his Arsenal team had played some "amazing football" during their 6-2 thrashing of Blackburn at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners recovered from going behind to a third-minute penalty to secure a comfortable victory against Mark Hughes' men, who remain in a scrap at the wrong end of the Barclays Premiership table.

"Blackburn played and were dangerous going forwards, but I am happy because it was a spirited performance and created some combination play at speed which was absolutely amazing," said Arsenal manager Wenger.

"It is never boring here. The team played some tremendous and amazing football to watch. Blackburn also did well going forward and in the end they were punished perhaps a little bit too much."

Wenger added: "I knew if we could survive their spell of pressure, then we would come out again.

"If they had come back to 3-3, that would have been very hard for the team mentally to have dropped two points with the way we played."

The Arsenal manager is convinced his side can go places in 2007.

"I have already said I believe we can achieve something this season, but it is down to consistency," Wenger continued. "We have now put a good little run together and it is just how consistent we can be.

"There is great spirit in the team and they enjoy playing together at a high tempo, that is something amazing and very interesting to watch.

"They are developing well and the vibes coming out of the team are very positive. I have a great belief they can go further."
