Arsenal were able to continue their impressive run of form with a 3-1 away victory at the Stadium of Light this afternoon thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud and a brace from Aaron Ramsey.

Here is what was said to reporters, after the game.

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey on Mesut Ozil and scoring:

“You’ve seen what he is all about slipping those balls in, he has one of highest assist-rates in Europe and he is going to create a lot of opportunities for us.

“I’m delighted to be on the scoresheet again. In the last few seasons I’ve been getting into right positions but maybe I’ve been lacking a bit of composure but I’m enjoying it now.”

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on Jozy Altidore’s disallowed goal:

“We were a bit lucky at 2-1 maybe, but we found the mental resources to win.

“It could have been a foul for us as well because Altidore took Sagna as well but the referee blew before the goal, I was sure of that because I saw him.”

Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio on referee Martin Atkinson denying Jozy Altidore’s goal:

“This is a big mistake. It’s obvious, this is not Paolo Di Canio’s opinion, the referee has to wait and see how the action finishes. When it is body to body with Jozy Altidore and Bacary Sagna, he has to wait until how it finishes and not stop the game. It was a big, big mistake.”

Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio on being sent off:

“He came to me and said if you keep going with your manner I sent you up to the stand. I said to him ‘if you want to complete a perfect job, you send me off.’ And that is what he did. I will never invite the referee to send me off again.”

Sunderland striker Jozy Altidore on his disallowed goal:

“I was just tussling back and forth with Bacary Sagna but I thought the referee was going to let us play, I got the better of him and then finished it off but I didn’t hear the whistle and it was brought back. The keeper didn’t either as he played 100% and I think Kieran Gibbs tried to clear it too. It was a good time to score and it would have been a good reward for us.”
