Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger challenged his side to continue their impressive run of form after their 2-1 win over Everton on Saturday night.

Goals from Olivier Giroud - given a start up front despite Theo Walcott's positive start to the season - and centre-back Laurent Koscielny within two minutes of each other saw the Gunners take command.

They conceded before half-time after Ross Barkley's 20-yard shot was deflected in off Gabriel but Wenger's side held firm to record their fourth straight victory in all competitions going into Tuesday's Capital One Cup game away to Sheffield Wednesday.

Olivier Giroud produced a man of the match performance to help Arsenal seal a 2-1 win over Everton in the Barclays Premier League.

"Let's continue to work together and continue to improve," said Wenger.

"There are still many aspects to our game which we can improve and therefore let's not focus too much on the position and try to be a better team.

"We need to keep the togetherness, the concentration, the humility and try to play better football game by game and try to focus on that in training as well."

As for Wenger's decision to drop Walcott to the bench and bring Giroud into the attack, the player himself insisted it was just case of the two strikers sharing the goalscoring responsibilities.

"I try to bring something else to the team. We have a different profile with Theo, and a good understanding with each of us up front, so it is okay," said Giroud.

"Before, Theo was in good form and now it is me, so we need to both contribute to the big matches."
