Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny believes the momentum is now with the side and he admits that is the main reason behind their impressive form.
After losing the first game of the season to Aston Villa, many people were questioning Arsene Wenger and his side, but since that defeat, they have won every game, including a North London derby and a tricky away trip to Marseille.
Talking to the club’s official website, Szczesny also revealed that the club have a new-found desire to defend well, which is also crucial to their impressive winning streak.
“We’ve won the last six games, four of them away from home,” he told Arsenal Player. “We know the momentum is with us. The games are coming thick and fast because we play in every midweek game so I’m sure we can keep that going, keep the momentum going and keep getting results.
“I think it’s just the desire of the whole team to defend well. We’ve not conceded a lot of goals away from home. We’ve been defending really well and then scoring goals on the counter attack so it’s just consistency of our defensive performances I think.
“When you defend very well for 90 minutes, you are going to get a couple of chances to score on the counter-attack and that’s what we’ve been doing away from home.
“It doesn’t really matter for us who scores first as long as we’re the ones who score more goals at the end of the game. We hope we can keep it going.
