Arsene Wenger watched Arsenal beat Blackburn Rovers 6-2 and then claimed 'we can score at any moment'.
The Gunners were in scintillating form despite twice trailing in the first-half to goals from Steven N'Zonzi and the impressive David Dunn, writes Stewart Coggin.
Efforts from Thomas Vermaelen and Robin van Persie cancelled out those goals, while further strikes from Andrey Arshavin, Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner were reward for a vibrant attacking display.

"When we are confident, we have a flow that looks like the goals will come at any moment and from anywhere," said the Arsenal manager.
"They enjoy what they do. They enjoy playing together and that for me is most important.
"There is some strength coming out of this team, we have to add some discipline defensively.
"We looked always like we would score goals.
"It's difficult to have so many people going forward and as well have everybody straight away defending well.
"It's a consequence of our philosophy a little bit."

Fabregas provided four assists in the match and celebrated his goal by kissing the badge in front of watching Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. Wenger is pleased to see Fabregas finding the target more regularly this season, and he also found time to praise the club's record scorer Henry.
"We know that he (Fabregas) creates chances but what is important for me, and what he misses, is that he scores the goals and today he scored," said Wenger.
"We look always like going forward with the whole team and when you look he is always in the middle of it, at the start or at the end.
"This team, apart from Fabregas is light-hearted , enjoyable to watch and like to play together.
"Thierry inspired our goal scoring. We want to show Thierry that we can score goals! It is good to see him back here. Overall I believe that he belongs more to Highbury than the Emirates because he has more memories at Highbury."
