Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that it is important his side have a strong finish to the season.

The Gunners claimed a 3-0 victory over Hull City this afternoon to keep their grip on fourth place in the Premier League table.

"We knew we had to win today and we had that kind of pressure," Wenger told the club's official website. "But I think you could already see that against West Ham there is something better in our game and today there was much more oil in the engine again.

"I think what is important is we finish as strong as we can in the Premier League and after the cup final will be completely different."

Arsenal have not finished outside the top four during Wenger's time in charge of the club.
