Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has praised his side's performance in their 3-0 victory over Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
The Gunners continued their run of good form as second-half goals from Giroud, along with Laurent Koscielny and Joel Campbell, guided Arsene Wenger's men to the three points to maintain their title challenge.
Giroud told the club's official website: "It was definitely a good win. We needed this win before the big game on Wednesday. We started slowly but we were creating chances to score.
"We needed to wait until the second half to put it in and to score three goals and even more, get another clean sheet."
The Gunners are second in the Premier League, level on points with leaders Manchester City.
