Joy of six for Wenger
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger basked in the glory of his side's 6-1 win at Everton and insisted they are aiming to prove wrong the critics who claim they do not have a squad strong enough to win the title.
Goals from Denilson, Thomas Vermaelen, William Gallas, Cesc Fabregas (2) and substitute Eduardo ensured the Gunners romped to victory, with Louis Saha grabbing a late consolation for the Toffees.
Wenger said: "I was surprised by the result, especially at Goodison. Everton were not at the level we usually face. The
international week clearly disrupted them and their preparation.
"But we showed cohesion, attitude, team spirit and desire to play together, all these things were the reasons that we won.
"We have lost two good players, two great players (in Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor) in the summer to Manchester City, but when great players leave that allows space for other players to come in and prove they are good enough.
"People have been writing us off. But what is important is not what others say, but what we do. From being told we were not competitive before the game to now being told we are super-favourites is strange. But it is right to say that this is just the first game and we aim to continue to give our best."
