Alex Iwobi thinks Arsenal are proving their title credentials after taking their winning run to nine games with a 5-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage.
The win was Arsenal’s sixth in a row in the Premier League after opening losses to Manchester City and Chelsea.
They already have three away wins in the league under Unai Emery after having won only four under Arsene Wenger last season and have scored at least two goals in each of their last 10 matches in all competitions.

While most people do not expect Arsenal to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool for the title, Iwobi insisted the team's chances should not be dismissed.
"The team spirit is better," Iwobi, who helped create Alexandre Lacazette's opening goal, told reporters after the game. "The confidence is definitely better. We analyse the games a bit more and we're proving to the fans as well as ourselves that we're able to compete for the title.
“But there’s a long way to go. It's a marathon, so we just have to carry on being consistent. .... We're not afraid to play anyone. We're playing without fear, we want to be consistent and keep it.”
