Arsenal football team manager believes that there is always a scope of improvement in life after his side's 2-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

Alexis Sanchez capitalised on Wes Brown's dreadful pass back to clip Arsenal ahead after half an hour. And, despite performing with more resolve than in their 8-0 defeat at St Mary's last Saturday, Sunderland lost another bad goal in stoppage time as goalkeeper Vito Mannone dawdled with the ball at his feet, allowing Sanchez to steal in and secure the win.

The late goal ensured that Arsenal would win this fixture for the fourth consecutive season but Wenger's side was far from convincing, The BBC reported.

The visitors, who had to win to avoid recording their lowest points total after nine games in the Wenger era, offered a very uninspiring performance. Chances were scarce for Arsenal, with the goals the consequence of two grotesque Sunderland mistakes.

Wenger said that his side had a lot of the ball and Sunderland were focused on defending, adding that the hosts came out with more purpose in the second half but on the break his side had many chances.

Wenger also said that in life one can always improve but what was important for them on Saturday was to get the three points and keep a clean sheet.

However, despite their strong efforts, Sunderland was unable to prevent a difficult week ending with the loss of their unbeaten home record.

Sunderland manager Gus Poyet said that he wanted to see the players be brave and pass the ball and added that he thinks they were close. He said that his side didn't make many mistakes in the first seven games but in the last two games they made more than one expects in the whole season and they need to put that right.
