Manager Arsène Wenger heaped praise on Francesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor.

Adebayor scored the crucial second goal against Blackburn last night to effectively secure all 3 points for the Gunners.

Wenger said: "Adebayor can score goals but he is benefiting from the outstanding teamwork.

"It's not a coincidence that strikers who play here score goals because everybody goes forward, everybody gives you good goals.

"The team feeds you when we go forward. They have given us a lot of food."

Blackburn manager Mark Hughes also had praise for Adebayor. The former Manchester United player said: "Adebayor's an outstanding footballer.

"My back four dealt with him as well as I've seen anyone deal with him.

"Goals bring confidence and he's scoring them left, right and centre.

"We've come up against him, equipped ourselves well, but he's ended up on the score sheet again."

Fabregas also drew praise from Wenger, who decided to play the Spanish international in a right-midfield berth, despite having a throat infection.

Wenger said: "Fábregas had been in bed for three days and we took him out of bed to play in that position, a different position."
