Arsene Wenger "very pleased" with Arsenal performance

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that he is "very pleased" with his side's performance during their 3-2 win over Manchester City this evening.

The Gunners ended their pre-season campaign with victory over Pep Guardiola's side in Sweden courtesy of goals from Alex Iwobi, Theo Walcott and Chuba Akpom.

An injury to Gabriel Paulista threatened to overshadow the win, but Wenger believes that his side are "ready" for the new Premier League season.

"I felt it was a game of intensity where both teams put a big effort in. We played quite well. We were 1-0 down, came back and always looked dangerous going forward. I'm very pleased with our performance and the spirit we have shown," he told the club's official website.

"We could see that we have played together for a while now, so there's a good fluidity and understanding in our game and reading of each other. I felt our transition from defence to attack was good, defending was good for the most part and physically we look ready."

Arsenal will take on Liverpool in their opening match of the 2016-17 Premier League season.
