Arsene Wenger gives his reaction to Arsenal's 4-1 victory

Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal are growing in confidence after beating Hull 4-1 to record their third successive Premier League win.

The Gunners started the season with a home defeat to Liverpool and then a draw at Leicester.

But, after wins against Watford and Southampton, they eased to victory against Hull on Saturday thanks to two goals from Alexis Sanchez and one each from Theo Walcott and Granit Xhaka.

"We are a bit more mature," Wenger told Sky Sports. "But it's early in the season. Let's just continue to improve and win our games and see where that will go.

"We are ambitious and have a good attitude and spirit. We have gained a bit of confidence from winning a few games.

Highlights from Arsenal's 4-1 victory over Hull

"We responded well to our first disappointment and hopefully we can build from that."

With Jake Livermore sent off late in the first half for deliberate handball, Arsenal looked to be cruising after Walcott made it 2-0.

But Wenger admitted he was nervous when Robert Snodgrass halved the deficit with 11 minutes remaining.

"I felt that we played the last 20 minutes without too much purpose to score," he said. "When it came back to 2-1 you know what can happen, it would have been a shame not to win.

However, the Gunners boss also said: "I was very happy with the performance. We started the game very well, after a very difficult game away at Paris St-Germain, to play away again and win you are always happy."
