Flying Dutchman: Van Persie[LNB]Robin van Persie has put his hot streak down to his wife and kids.[LNB]The Arsenal striker scored twice in Saturday's 3-0 win over Tottenham to take his tally to eight in his last nine games.[LNB]Van Persie, 26, recently celebrated the birth of his second child with wife Bouchra and the Dutchman told the Evening Standard: 'My family life is fantastic. The main things in my life are my two kids and my wife and it makes you stable. It gives you a good basis to perform because it is not good to go out all the time.[LNB]'When you play at this level - in the Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League - you need to recover and get your rest here and there and that is what I am doing.[LNB]  'I sleep OK. I am sometimes tired all day but it is not because I don't get enough sleep. Sometimes I jump into my son's bed and that helps as well. I get seven to eight hours a night which is good but when you have two kids and lots of guests over, you are a bit tired.[LNB]'I am in the middle of this situation but I am feeling stronger again now. Two weeks ago, after the birth, it was really hard and I was struggling physically but it is better now.'[LNB] Arsenal 3 Tottenham 0: Wenger compares RVP to Henry and BergkampTHE LIST: The 50 finest footballers to have played for Tottenham or ArsenalRobin van Persie wants revenge on City in Carling Cup quarter-finalWenger grabs a grand: A breakdown of the Arsenal boss's 1,000 pointsJamie Redknapp's weekend watch: Bobby Zamora brings so much moreARSENAL FC
