Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has admitted that he is proud of his teammates after they picked up an important 3-0 victory over Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
It was a testing performance for the Gunners, who were unable to break Watford down until the second half, where good work from Mesut Ozil saw the ball fall to Alexis Sanchez inside 12-yards of the goal and the 26-year-old buried to continue his fantastic goal scoring run. Olivier Giroud doubled Arsenal’s lead shortly after coming on for Theo Walcott, where Mesut Ozil’s well-placed cut-back found the Frenchman who was more than happy to knock the ball beyond the Watford ‘keeper. Aaron Ramsey finished the formalities after Hector Bellerin’s mazy run – drifting in from the right-hand side.
With Watford proving difficult opponents, Santi Cazorla claimed that their physicality needed togetherness from the Gunners.
It was a difficult game and a very good win for us. We are second in the league and we need to keep the play at the same level.
They played the long ball and they have very good and strong players in front of them, but we came together and it is very important for us to beat these teams and we are very proud of the team.
It is a very different game [to the 3-0 win over United]. We played against Manchester United last time and it is a different game. They have very good players but today it was physical and with the team it is the most important thing to play well. We need to keep this level for the future.
Despite scoring 11 goals in their last three Premier League games, Cazorla believes that Arsenal need to be more clinical in front of goal.
We need to improve the game. It is important to make the first goal but we need more goals and this is the most important thing for the team. We have very good players like Alexis and Mesut which is good.
We will try to win the league. Game by game it is important for us. We have a vital game against Bayern Munich and after that we have a big game against Everton.
