Arsenal went unbeaten across November with two draws and a win.
Speaking to Goal, Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has expressed his delight at the club avoiding another disastrous November.
The Gunners have become renowned for suffering across November, with them having picked up an average of 1.56 points across the month since Arsene Wenger took charge.
They managed to buck that trend this year, though, picking up five points in total with draws against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur and a win over Bournemouth.
It means the Gunners have managed to maintain their title push with them sitting second in the table and three points behind leaders Chelsea.
And speaking to Goal after the 5-1 win over West Ham United, Ozil has shared his delight.
“I’m very happy about the result, we took our chances and didn’t ease off maybe with one or two goals too much,” he said.
“We are in a good position in the title race now and survived our annual ‘Arsenovember’ without a defeat in the Premier League and are confident for the next matches.
“But we must keep on winning and the lads must stay fit and healthy to stay at the top.”
Arsene Wenger will now be hoping Arsenal can build on their strong November and continue to push for the title with an equally strong December.
The Gunners have some tough fixtures over the Christmas period, taking on both Everton and Manchester City away from home as well as home clashes with West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City.
If they can come out of those as well as they did in November, then many may see Arsenal as genuine challengers this time around.
