Mikel Arteta reacted to Arsenal’s 5-0 win against Burnley at Turf Moor and said that they need to maintain the momentum they have set in recent weeks.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to Sky Sports: "Today was a really tricky game - a difficult place to come and win. Burnley have been really good, competitive and consistent against the top sides and I expected a very different afternoon.
"It's true with the early goals we scored, we made it easier and the game flowed better for us. But I still think they're a really good side.
"Individually we are in a really good moment and Bukayo is in a good moment. We need to maintain that. We have that momentum and it's a case of still doing it. There are still things we can do better so we keep going.
"The only bad side to the game was Aaron Ramsey who I think had a really bad injury so I would like to wish him the best and hopefully it's not a bad one.

Vincent Kompany admitted that Burnley were not good enough against Arsenal as they were beaten 5-0, but they can not dwell on the defeat.
Burnley manager Vincent Kompany to Sky Sports: "Not good enough. I think in moments like this, you take it on the chin. They were better than us but we didn't perform to our best possible level.
"For many games now, the last 14 of 15 of them, we didn't question the performance. But today was a bad performance which can happen sometimes.
"We can't let it affect the next games. This week will be one where we focus on the next game and make sure we stick together and show what we want to be about.
"My goal is to always be there with the players. In tough times, even more. We felt we were building to something positive and felt we could turn a corner. In a day like today, you probably find other people around you will doubt about this, but it's important to stay our course and be ready for the next game.
Sky Sports' Sam Blitz:
Arsenal began the weekend dreaming about Kylian Mbappe. They will end it questioning if they actually need him.
Since the winter break, when all the talk was about whether the Gunners needed to strengthen up front, Mikel Arteta's side have 21 goals in five Premier League matches. That run includes five goals past Crystal Palace, six in the West Ham net, now five against Burnley.
Still, some will claim Arsenal need that 30-goal-a-season striker. But three reasons suggest they don't.
The first: among those 21 goals since January 20, there have been nine different goalscorers - showing a desire to spread firepower around the team through personnel. Arsenal don't need an Erling Haaland if they have multiple players on 15 goals and defenders contributing from set-pieces.
The second: Arsenal have a starlet in Bukayo Saka who can take on the goalscoring mantle, if one star is needed. "I have no idea, I don't think Bukayo needs much motivating," said Arteta after the game when asked if Saka was affected by the Mbappe links.
Burnley travel to Crystal Palace in the Premier League next Saturday in what could be key in the battle against relegation; kick-off 3pm.
Arsenal resume their Champions League campaign on Wednesday as they travel to Porto in the last 16 first leg; kick-off 8pm. They are back in Premier League action next Saturday as they host Newcastle; kick-off 8pm.
