Cesc Fabregas has urged his Arsenal team-mates to maintain their excellent start to the season.

The Gunners struggled to keep pace with the Premier League leaders from the start of last season and finished 21 points behind champions Manchester United.

But they moved top after five games of the new campaign with a 3-1 victory over London rivals Tottenham on Saturday.

Fabregas has scored five goals already this term, one more than in the whole of the last campaign, and is happy to have contributed to Arsenal's flying start.

"Last season I had the same chances and never scored. But this year I've had even less and scored more," the Spaniard said in The Sun.

"We need to keep winning, which was what we were missing the last two seasons.

"We lost a lot of points at the beginning, had to come back, and it was too difficult as the teams at the top did not lose any points.

"We're on a good run but have to keep going as this was just one game. It's just the beginning."

Wenger praise

Arsene Wenger believes Fabregas' work-rate and ability to keep cool under pressure makes him one of the league's top midfielders.

The Arsenal boss said: "It's difficult to say if Fabregas is the best midfielder in the country because we have some great ones in England, but when you see what he is producing now, at 20, it is quite impressive."

"He works very hard and never weakens until the last minute of the game.

"You can never predict how well a great player will do but the only thing common to all great players is the vision and he has that.

"If it becomes hectic, suddenly he finds a good pass and gets you out of tight situations."
