Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has urged the team to push on in 2015 following their 3-0 win over Stoke City.

Koscielny was on the scoresheet at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday as the Gunners eased past the Potters in the Premier League.

However, the French international is eager for fifth-placed Arsenal to stay focused and make sure that they continue to climb up the table.

"We can be higher but we need to keep our mentality to win more," he told the club's official website. "Sometimes you don't play well but you win, so that's important for us to do so that we can climb higher up the table. We've started with a win now, so hopefully we can pick up more in a row."

Arsenal are back in action on Sunday when they make the trip to champions Manchester City in the league.
