Confident Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has revealed that he believes that he can score in every game in which he plays.

The Dutchman scored a hat-trick to help Arsenal to a 5-3 victory over London rivals Chelsea on Saturday.

"I feel I can score every time I go out on to the pitch," van Persie said.

"For me it's just the best feeling to have. It doesn't really matter against who we play, we always create chances so that means I always have a go. Then it's up to me to score.

"I'll miss chances, but I'll score them as well. To have that feeling is one of the best things in life."

Van Persie also said that the Gunners' emphatic win over Chelsea should dispel the criticism leveled at Arsenal's performance so far this season.

"I think we've been having a good run for almost two months now. A bit quiet, not many people have noticed it," he added.

"But we won eight games out of nine and to win this one sets a standard. Everyone realises we can now do it against any team.

"To score five goals at Stamford Bridge is a big thing, we can be very proud."

Arsenal's win puts them at seventh place in the Premier League, with 16 points from 10 games.
