Hleb enjoys Arsenal form

Alexander Hleb believes that four wins on the spin has helped reignite the fire in Arsenal's Premiership challenge and eased the pain of the 5-1 defeat to Tottenham in the Carling Cup.

Hleb said: "It was very important for us to get things right again after the Spurs defeat.

"Sometimes matches like that one happen in football - maybe we didn't have the right level of concentration, it's difficult to say.

"It seemed to me that they maybe wanted the win more than we did. But then, it was as if every shot they took went in.

"So we have to carry on like this - combining that spirit with the kind of game we play, then we can achieve great things this season."
