First-half goals from Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday swept Arsenal to a first league victory over their London rivals in 10 encounters.
It was Arsenal's biggest win over Chelsea since a 3-0 victory in Wenger's first meeting with them in April 1997 and the 66-year-old said he was now even more eager for success than when he arrived.

"I'm hungrier because I know I have not got 20 more years in front of me.
"I also feel a responsibility. You can't be 20 years somewhere and not care. I'm more conscious about what Arsenal is all about and I feel the weight of keeping people happy, and making people happy," Wenger said.
Chelsea have held something of a hoodoo over Arsenal in recent times.
"We had to deal with some inconvenient facts before the game. They were we couldn't beat Chelsea for years," said the Frenchman.
"To get that out of the system was also at stake . I think what was important for me was the psychological hurdle standing in our way. We must not make much of it, but we can't ignore it. We couldn't say to the players they'd done well against Chelsea, because that isn't true.
