Arsene wenger admitted his surprise at Chelsea’s defeat by Newcastle on Saturday after his Arsenal side beat Liverpool to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The Blues slumped to a 2-0 loss at St James’ Park in Saturday’s early kick-off before the Gunners beat the Reds by the same scoreline to extend their lead in the top flight.
Chelsea’s loss came after José
Mourinho’s men sealed a comprehensive 2-0 win over Arsenal in the League Cup last week – and Wenger revealed his
surprise at their London rivals’ loss.
“It is unpredictable because who would have said that Chelsea would lose today at Newcastle after Tuesday night?” said
Wenger. “But that’s the Premier League and it’s down to consistency. I said we are
consistent since the 1st of January 2013, with the same group.
“We have shown since our massive blip against Aston Villa , that we have been very consistent.
“We have 10 games, 25 points. It is a respectable number of points. We go from game to game, we have Dortmund on Wednesday, it is another big game, we are in a position where we want absolutely a result. This win puts us mentally in a better condition.”
