Arsene Wenger: "The first target was to win the game, and that is the best preparation.

"At 2-0, you could see maybe the [thought of the] Champions League started a little bit to resurface or surface, but it was a very good game against a Middlesbrough team who played in a very positive way.

"We dominated it, we made some brilliant passing and some brilliant combinations - especially the first goal, I believe was absolutely outstanding.

"You could see the team enjoys the way we play and loves the game.

"It is better today to win than lose and rest players.

"It [fourth place] is now not completely definite, but it is 10 points with four games to go.

"We can focus now on catching Chelsea, because we still have to play them at home."
