Arsenal guns for top four

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger said his team was full value for its 2-0 win at Southampton that kept their Premier League top-four hopes alive.

Goals from Alexis Sanchez – his 20th this season – and substitute Olivier Giroud handed the Gunners three points that meant they leapt Manchester United into fifth place.

“Overall it was a very convincing win,” Wenger said. “It was a very even game in the first half but in the second half I felt we took over and created many opportunities to score.”
