Wenger enjoying winning streak

ARSENE WENGER always felt his Arsenal side had the quality to get back to winning ways — but he is glad it happened sooner rather than later.

The Gunners recorded a fifth straight win following a 2-1 victory at Charlton on Saturday. It is a run which has seen them move to within five points of Premiership leaders Manchester United and Chelsea, having a game in hand on both.

Arsenal’s recent sparkling form, which began away to Hamburg in the Champions League and gathered momentum at Old Trafford, is in stark contrast to the opening few games of the campaign, which produced two draws and a defeat.
