Everton 1 - 6 Arsenal

Arsenal

Arsene Wenger basked in the glory of his side's 6-1 win at Everton and said 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."
