JAKARTA - Arsenal set a record in a 6-0 win over Lens in the Champions League. However, Arsenal have forgotten the good record because manager Mikel Arteta wants players to focus on facing an important match against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier England competition.

Arsenal carried an important mission to host Wolves at the Emirates Stadium, London, Saturday, December 2 evening WIB. Yes, Arsenal had to win in that match to widen the distance between points with defending champions Manchester City who were ranked second.

The reason is, the Gunners, who have points 30, are only one point ahead after a narrow 1-0 win over Brentford. They took the throne that Man City still controlled after drawing 1-1 against Liverpool.

"We have finished the match well. We did it in a good way too," said Arteta.

"We scored five goals [in the first half] against a good team. You will slip if you look like you did in the first half. But we tried to stay focused," he said again.

Arsenal set a record with that big win. They broke into Lens' goal four times in just 27 minutes through Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

This North London club also equaled Manchester United's record when they beat Brondby in 1998. Furthermore, Arsenal added one more goal through captain Martin Odergaard.

This made Arsenal the first Premier League club to score five goals in the first half alone. They finally added one more goal in the second half.

However, Arteta did not care about the various records. He immediately focused on facing Wolves' guests.

"We had a crazy match schedule. Now, we have to focus on the game against Wolves which is 72 hours away," said Arteta.

"We want more from one another. We have to prepare ourselves for Wolves," he concluded.
