Arsene Wenger was pleased with Arsenal’s relentlessness during their 3-0 victory away to Watford

Arsene Wenger insists he has not made a decision on his future, despite suggestions this may be his last contract at Arsenal.

Wenger said at the club's annual general meeting in midweek that he was "committed to the last day of his contract", which runs until 2017, but said on Saturday his 19-year stint was not drawing to a close.

Speaking after Arsenal's 3-0 win at Watford on Saturday Night Football, Wenger told Sky Sports: "It has been interpreted like that, but I don't know. Honestly, I said many times I want to do well. 

"When do I stop? I don't know yet. We will see."

When Wenger was asked if he had made a decision on his future, he said: "Not yet, no."

Jamie Redknapp and Thierry Henry feel Arsenal have enough quality to mount a genuine title challenge this season

Arsenal are in second in the Premier League with 19 points from nine games, just two behind leaders Manchester City.

Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey wrapped up the points for Wenger's side in the second half, and the Frenchman praised his side's efforts in grinding out a win after an indifferent first 45 minutes.

"[Watford] only conceded one goal [at home] before today, and we could see why. They are well organised.

"We suffered a bit at the start of the game with that, but we adapted. We knew this was an important game, and we wanted to win and we did. 

"The first half was difficult. We increased our commitment slowly. When we scored we continued to go, and it was a convincing win."
