Wenger: We deserved to win

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger felt his side were rewarded for their hard endeavour as they left Everton with three vital points. Goals from Bacary Sagna and Cesc Fabregas either side of half-time proved decisive at Goodison Park as the Gunners won 2-1 to move up to second in the Barclays Premier League. The Londoners were made to battle for their victory and Lukasz Fabianski produced a string of fine saves as Everton, who eventually broke through courtesy of Tim Cahill, finished strongly. Wenger said: "The most important qualities we showed were discipline, commitment, honest desire, 100% 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 difficult away games, Wolves and here, but we have got six points and that puts us in a good situation. The team has shown great spirit."
