Wenger urges Gunners to stay on target

Arsene Wenger has challenged his Arsenal stars to use their FA Cup final masterclass as inspiration to mount a serious bid for the Premier League title next season.

Wenger's side made history at Wembley on Saturday with a 4-0 rout of Aston Villa that underlined the Gunners' renaissance in the second half of the campaign and served as a warning to English champions Chelsea.

Goals from Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez, Per Mertesacker and Olivier Giroud ensured Wenger became the first post-War manager to win the FA Cup six times, while the Gunners are now the most successful club in the history of the competition, lifting the trophy for the 12th time.
