Wenger comments on Everton win

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger found his side was honored for their hard attempt as they beat Everton cardinal.Goals from Bacary Sagna and Cesc Fabregas either side of half-time proved decisive at Goodison Park as the Gunners won 2-1 to arise to second in the Premier League.

The Londoners were made to battle for their victory and Lukasz Fabianski acquired a string of fine saves as Everton, who eventually came out courtesy of Tim Cahill, finished powerfully.

Wenger said: "The most of import qualities we showed were discipline, commitment, honest desire, 100 pct focus for 90 minutes.

"That got us the three points - if you come here without that you don't get the three points."We've had two hard aside games, Wolves and here, but we have six points and that puts us in a good situation. The team has shown great spirit.

"We could have scored more but we were nearly punished and we needed a lot of good saves from the keeper because we became a bit too conservative.

"We were hanging on a bit at the end but overall I'm satisfied with 2-1."

 Despite his team's strong position, Wenger was not willing to deal the title picture.

"Let's get points into our account and see where we stand at the end," he said.

 Wenger allayed fears midfielder Jack Wilshere, who is due to join up with England this week, was removed at the interval because of injury.

 The Frenchman said: "He is not injured. I wanted a second holding player to win the second balls from the headers and I thought he looked a bit tired today.

"He will be all right to go with England."
