Scoring in the English Premier League is tougher because most of the teams take emphasis on their defensive game, but Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is not worried as his squad is capable of distributing the goalscoring burden.

"It's the best thing that can happen to us, because if you depend on one player you think you have to put him in cotton wool to keep him fit," Wenger told Arsenal.com.

"For us to know everyone can score and that someone like Ramsey, who is a goalscorer, is not playing at the moment, and Arteta, who can get us a goal as well but is not playing, that is very positive."

Meanwhile, the French tactician believes that fans have to be patient with the development of German superstar Mesut Ozil.

"Sometimes people expect him to make the difference alone," he said. "Sometimes when it doesn't work you expect him to take the ball and put it in the net. He is more a passer than a finisher.

"[Goalscoring] is one of the things he can add to his game for sure. It doesn't need to be criticised, it needs to be encouraged.

"I think as well that the consistency of the quality of his passing slowly drains the opponent as he passes always the ball when you do not want him to do it. That slowly [allows] us to take over.

"He is 25, he can only get better. The best years are coming for him now."

The Gunners came out victorious on Saturday against Fulham to remain at the top of the table, thanks to a double from winger Santi Cazorla.
