Theo Walcott believes 'the whole team is flying' after Arsenal secured a seventh straight win with a thumping 6-0 victory over Ludogorets in the Champions League.
Walcott scored his eighth goal of the season at the Emirates, but the pacey winger was more impressed with his side's performance at the back.
Mesut Ozil who stole the headlines against the Bulgarians with the first hat-trick of his professional career, while Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also got on the scoresheet.
"Obviously the goals are fantastic but we always say we want to keep a clean sheet, that's always our first goal, and we managed to do that," Walcott said.
"We know how well we are going forward and it was all about sorting ourselves out at the back and we've managed to do that this season.
"The performances are coming.
"They started the game very strongly and technically they have got a lot of very good players and the scoreline may suggest it was quite easy but it was far from easy.
"So we can be proud of that and look forward to the weekend now.
"We always want to take our chances and today we managed to take pretty much all of them.
"Everyone was very focused and ruthless and it's a great result going into the weekend. The whole team is flying with confidence at the moment."
