Manager Arsène Wenger praised his side's performance over leaders Manchester United today, saying that his young team gave everything, and won.
A goal from Aaron Ramsey was enough to separate the two sides, though Arsenal had to hold off a spirited United attempt at a comeback.
It was a performance to marvel by the same players who had been so disappointing recently, though the cracks in the defence could still be seen by the Emirates faithful.
Wenger said: "We had a good performance that had everything in it; discipline, fighting spirit and our usual passing game.
"Until we scored the goal, I feel we completely controlled the game.
"Then, because we have not won a lot recently, we tried to protect our advantage and were more under pressure.
"Overall, I believe we deserved to win the game.
"We have gone through a difficult period. When you look back at the best games played in the season, in the Champions League and the Premier League, the team still lacks a bit of maturity under pressure.
"The team had to deal with some big disappointments that I feel had a subconscious affect on our team."
