Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Manchester United's Louis van Gaal spoke after Arsenal's 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday (October 4th).

Script:

"Yes but I think we won our last Premier League game at Leicester 5-2, we won today 3-0 so in the Premier League we scored eight goals in two games against two big opponents and overall we had a convincing performance. Strong, united response to our disappointment on Tuesday night (their Champions League defeat by Olympiacos). That shows that the group is very united and very strong as well and from goalkeeper to number nine everybody played very well - it's what you want."

SOUNDBITE (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager

"To win in a big game is always a statement and we are in it, we are two points off the leaders Manchester City so I hope that result today will give us belief and ambition to fight for it (the title), yes."

SOUNDBITE (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester United manager (on his side's defeat):

"When you give a team as Arsenal so much space to play football then you know that you shall lose and we have prepared ourselves also in that way, to play more compact but also don't lose your aggression so it was amazing for me and very disappointed."

SOUNDBITE (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester United manager (on why his side started so badly):

"They are all in an emotional moment, we have lost in a way we cannot lose , when you are top of the bill, top of the league. Then you cannot start like we have started and they know that. And the worst thing is everybody is going away even from out of London Airport, they are flying away and I cannot build up a new situation that they have the confidence to play football, to win your next battle against Everton away, for example."
