Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain wants to repay Arsène Wenger with quality performances after being handed his full Premier League debut on Sunday.
The
18-year-old was one of Arsenal's brightest performers in the 2-1 defeat
against Manchester United and capped an encouraging display with the
assist for Robin van Persie's second-half equaliser.
Wenger
has eased Oxlade-Chamberlain into the first-team picture since he
joined the Club from Southampton last summer. And the teenager is
determined to keep his place in the starting line-up.
"I was
happy to get a start and obviously against opposition like Man United -
it doesn't come any better than that," Oxlade-Chamberlain told Arsenal
Player.
"I guess it does [show Wenger has faith in him] and that
is a positive for me to take away, having the boss' trust. I've got to
make sure I repay that with my performances, working hard in training
and when I'm on the pitch.
"Overall I was happy with my
performance and happy to contribute to Robin's goal. It was positive for
me and mentally it puts you in a good position.
"That can
always change in football though - you can have one good game and the
next game is a bad one. You've got to deal with the highs and the lows.
It was a nice performance from me and I've got to make sure I keep my
place now."
