Wenger hails 'nearly perfect' Arsenal

Arsenal's French manager Arsene Wenger waves to the fans following the English Premier League football match between Arsenal and Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium in London on May 15, 2016. Arsene Wenger memorably announced his arrival as a revolutionary force in England by banning his players from eating sweets, but the Arsenal manager's reign has turned increasingly sour as he marks the 20th anniversary of his appointment. Arguably the most significant agent of change in the Premier League era, the 66-year-old's achievements in revitalising both Arsenal and English football will rightly be celebrated in this milestone week for the urbane Frenchman. / AFP PHOTO

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said his team had come close to perfection after watching them mark his 20th anniversary with a 3-0 win over Chelsea on Saturday.

Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil scored in the first 40 minutes as Arsenal claimed their biggest win over Chelsea since April 1997.
