Cesc Fabregas has urged his Arsenal team-mates to
maintain their excellent start to the season.
The Gunners struggled to keep pace with the Premier League leaders
from the start of last season and finished 21 points behind
champions Manchester United.
But they moved top after five games of the new campaign with a 3-1
victory over London rivals Tottenham on Saturday.
Fabregas has scored five goals already this term, one more than in
the whole of the last campaign, and is happy to have contributed to
Arsenal's flying start.
"Last season I had the same chances and never scored. But this year
I've had even less and scored more," the Spaniard said in The
Sun.
"We need to keep winning, which was what we were missing the last
two seasons.
"We lost a lot of points at the beginning, had to come back, and it
was too difficult as the teams at the top did not lose any
points.
"We're on a good run but have to keep going as this was just one
game. It's just the beginning."
Wenger
praise
Arsene Wenger believes Fabregas' work-rate and ability to keep cool
under pressure makes him one of the league's top midfielders.
The Arsenal boss said: "It's difficult to say if Fabregas is the
best midfielder in the country because we have some great ones in
England, but when you see what he is producing now, at 20, it is
quite impressive."
"He works very hard and never weakens until the last minute of the
game.
"You can never predict how well a great player will do but the only
thing common to all great players is the vision and he has
that.
"If it becomes hectic, suddenly he finds a good pass and gets you
out of tight situations."
