Gunners leave Wenger purring

Arsene Wenger was in a bullish mood after Arsenal’s impressive 3-0 win over Tottenham in the north London derby on Saturday. Talk before the game was of Spurs closing the gap on their neighbours but the possibility of a win against the Gunner’s was effectively over when Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas struck within a minute of each other just before the break. "Do we have enough? I say yes," crowed Wenger. "I've said that since the first day of the season and it won't change now. We want to show consistency and intelligence and that is not easy. I believe we have the opportunity and it will be down to our attitude." Van Persie grabbed a second goal late on as Arsenal extended their unbeaten run to eleven matches. The result leaves Arsenal five points behind leaders Chelsea but with a game in hand.
