Arsenal leapfrogged Liverpool and went into third place after yesterday's 3-1 win over Manchester City.
Manager Arsène Wenger was happy with his team's performance and said that overall, his young charges deserved to win the game.
Wenger said: "I think we deserved the win tonight, we had a lot of possession, created a lot of chances and when Manchester City came back to 1-1, it was a test in the second half but we kept our game, were patient and scored.
"That changed it, because after that City changed their shape and opened more up and of course we had many chances to score the third goal.
"Before that they waited for us in the final third and we needed to pass the ball quickly and find that second goal."
