The Frenchman was celebrating his 18 years anniversary at the Emirates and
Welbeck's treble alongside a strike from Alexis Sanchez sealed a
comfortable win with Burak Yilmaz responding from the penalty spot as
Wojciech Szczesny was sent off.
Some eyebrows were raised when Wenger shelled out 16 million pounds
for Welbeck in January but the former Manchester United striker is happy
to be repaying that faith.
"He's shown a lot of faith in me and I'm delighted to pay him back
tonight,'' he told Sky Sports 1. "Just giving me the chance to play
football up front in my preferred position, I'm going to do everything I
can to make sure that he's happy.''
He added: "I think we've set the benchmark now and we've really got
to try to go on that. From now on we want to get the three points every
single game.''
Welbeck was pleased to notch his first first-team hat-trick and is hoping that more of the same tactics can bring more goals.
"I'm obviously delighted to get the goals but I think the most
important thing was that we got our three points on the board tonight,''
he said. "I'm playing up front, trying to score goals and getting into
goalscoring opportunities and tonight it paid off, I got the three
goals.''
