Wenger: West Ham was a test

Manager Arsène Wenger was proud of the way his team defended the 1-0 led against West Ham United, a team that did the double over the Gunners last season.

Arsenal took home all three points thanks to a Robin van Persie header.

Wenger said: "We have had a problem taking points at Upton Park recently.

"We had to take our chances and overall we deserved the victory.

"It was a good test to defend a 1-0 advantage and not to make mistakes.

"I believe we did that very well.

"We have matured, we have more belief and we are really hungry.

"The players show a pleasing solidarity."

for me the thing that i am pleased about most of all is looking at flamini at westham and seeing how he is learning to step up his game and i think this is the influance of fabregas.
