Wenger warns his players against complacency after pipping Spurs for third place

London, Mar 22(ANI): Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has cautioned his players against complacency after they dislodged cross road rivals Tottenham Hotspurs from the number three position in Premier League table.

During the initial few months of the league campaign, few would have envisaged Arsenal at number three in the league table, since at that time, the Gunners were reeling at the bottom of the table.

Arsenal was 12 points behind their rivals Spurs when they drew 0-0 at Bolton at the start of February. But Thomas Vermaelen's header against Everton on Wednesday night took them into third, a point ahead of stuttering Tottenham.

But Wenger has told his players not to get over buoyed with their 1-0 win over Everton, and reaching third since they have witnessed how quickly the league positions can change in a matter of weeks.

"What we have done in these past weeks has shown how quickly things can change in this league. The hardest part is still ahead of us, so we must keep our humility and fight for each other," The Sun quoted Wenger, as saying.

"But it's different to the start of the season when I had to answer questions like 'Are you praying you don't go down?" he added. (ANI)
