A hat-trick from Emmanuel Adebayor and other goals from Abou Diaby and Cesc Fabregas swept Derby aside and kept Arsenal at the top of the Barclays Premier League.

The victory ensured Arsenal maintained their 100% start to the season and they remain undefeated in six outings.

The start prompted Wenger to declare: "This team means business. We are not there to show off. We want to achieve something together.

"We kept a good concentration on the quality of our game. It was really enjoyable to watch.

"Adebayor looks stronger physically and you see that in many challenges. There is a huge force coming out of him. He had that already but he looks calmer in his finishing."

Some of Arsenal's football was a sheer joy to watch - the kind of football Chelsea's Roman Abramovich wants his side to play over at Stamford Bridge.

But Wenger was not interested in what Abramovich wants in west London, adding that he was only too happy to stay true to his idea of how the game should be played.

Wenger added: "We try to play football we love here and that is not linked with the Chelsea situation, it is linked to what we aspire to do. When we don't win we are criticised, when we win people love us. But above all we are faithful to the idea we have of the game."

Fabregas was sensational in midfield and took his tally to seven for the season with a stunning 20-yard drive for Arsenal's fourth. It was his last kick of the game as Wenger replaced him immediately.

Fabregas is now beginning to earn the same kind of plaudits that made Thierry Henry such a star at the Emirates but Wenger does not believe he will get carried away with his own success.

Wenger explained: "I wanted to take him off because he had a little calf problem at half-time but he took advantage of that by scoring a goal. He scored a great goal again.

"Cesc is naturally very hard on himself. That struck me even when he was 16. He is very demanding of himself. He has his feet on the ground and I think he will deal well with that situation.

"We have played six games, four times at home, so we are conscious next week at West Ham will be another test. We won in a convincing way at Tottenham, we could have won at Blackburn so let us keep it going.

"There is still room for improvement and the target is to get better and better and hopefully peak in April and May."

Arsenal can look forward to a season of success but clueless County are set for a long hard slog.

They were simply outclassed by Arsenal as they had been at Tottenham and Liverpool but boss Billy Davies says the learning curve and the experience will help his side as they prepare for a crucial run of games.

Davies declared: "Ultimately the early goal cost us dearly, it was poor defending even if it was a top-class finish.

"We were playing against Adebayor, without doubt one of the top strikers in the world, and Fabregas - one of the best midfield players.

"They have quality running through the side - they are a top side. They play with a huge amount of confidence.

"The learning curve and experience is crucial. It looked as though we were moving the ball around with a bit more confidence at time. But we still stood off when we should have been in people's faces.

"Sevilla came here - a top European side and lost 3-0 - so there is no embarrassment to come here and get a lesson off them.

"We are now going into a run of games against Bolton, Reading, Wigan and Everton and we've got to look to these and know they are the ones we have to compete and pick up points in.

"We are not despondent at all, we feel we are getting better and we will continue to work very hard."
