The Gunners manager is confident that there is still more
to come from the Welshman after the latest in a series of goals helped his side
to down Swansea City.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger feels that there is still
more to come from Aaron Ramsey after he fired his club to another win on
Saturday.
The Welshman's outstanding start to the season continued
as he scored one and set up another in the Gunners' 2-1 triumph at Swansea
City, taking his tally to eight goals in nine club appearances this season and
moving his side two points clear at the top of the Premier League.
When quizzed about the 22-year-old's performance, a
delighted Wenger told Sky Sports: "Much like the team, he had a difficult
start but he became stronger. He had an outstanding second half and scored
again. What can you say?
"There's still a lot of improvement to come from
him."
Wenger also hailed the efforts of German youngster Serge
Gnabry, who made the most of the absences of wingers Theo Walcott and Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain to produce a terrific performance, including the opening
goal.
"He is 18 years old," the Frenchman added.
"Early quality on the pitch is what he is showing. We are giving him
confidence and he had another good game."
The Gunners boss felt that his side were distinctly
average in the first half but was pleased with their response, explaining:
"The first half was quite difficult. I felt we were a little bit slow in
our combinations and Swansea were a little sharper than us.
"[In] the second half we were much stronger. We took
advantage of the chances we created. We have substance in the team and you
could see that in the second half. We came out with purpose and won the game.
That was important.
"Our spirit has been tested after the first home
game [losing to Aston Villa] and, the way we responded, it is very
positive."
