Alex Iwobi
says he is living a dream with Arsenal after scoring one goal and creating
another in his side's 4-0 Premier League win over Watford on Saturday.
The Nigeria
international set up Alexis Sanchez's opener after just five minutes at
Emirates Stadium and doubled the home team's lead before the half-time
interval.
Iwobi's
first-time finish made it two goals in as many Premier League games after he
had also found the net against Everton. He left the field in the 74th minute to
a standing ovation to be replaced by Theo Walcott, who scored Arsenal's fourth.
The result
keeps alive Arsenal's title hopes – though they still trail leaders Leicester
City by eight points with seven matches remaining.
"Happy
for the team, glad we won. It's all for the team and I'm glad we've got the
three points," Iwobi told BBC Sport.
"When
you're young you dream of this and this is like a dream come true, winning with
this team.
"Winning
the title would be amazing but we're taking each game as it comes, game by
game, and we'll see where we end up come the end of the season."
Hector
Bellerin scored Arsenal’s third goal after the break, his left-footed volley
taking a heavy deflection before reaching the back of the net.
The
full-back insists the players will continue to fight for the Premier League
until it is mathematically impossible for them to be crowned champions.
"Good
to come back with a win after the international break. The team needed a good
performance," Bellerin told the BBC.
