Following a glittering three and a half seasons at Arsenal, it's clear Alexis Sanchez has yet to hit his stride with Manchester United.

LONDON -- Arsenal coach Unai Emery has called on his players to improve if they are to keep up with the Premier League's top teams and urged supporters to stay calm despite the team's nine-match winning streak.

Fans chanted "We've got our Arsenal back" during the 5-1 win at Fulham before the international break, which took the Gunners to within two points of the league's leading trio of Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.

But Emery warned the increasingly optimistic fanbase against getting carried away.

"I am not agreeing totally with the response of the supporters. I think we need to improve a lot," Emery told a news conference on Thursday ahead of Monday night's game against Leicester.

"The supporters can enjoy it with us but also we're speaking with our reality every day. We need to improve because for example the match against Fulham was a very good result and a very good game for 90 minutes but in the first 45 minutes I thought we needed to do better. ... For me now, the most important thing is not to rush."
