Midfielder Francesc Fabregas says that he would prefer to focus on the positives after the draw against Aston Villa, which saw the Gunners' lead at the top of the Premiership cut even more.

Fabregas is proud of the team spirit and determination shown by the Gunners, who were trailing for most of the game to a Philippe Senderos own goal in the first half.

Substitute Nicklas Bendtner levelled at the death to earn a vital point.

The Spanish international said: "When you are so young and if you do not have this spirit, it is very difficult to do something.

"If a team is weak mentally, you do not come back from these games - because these are matches when everything is against you, maybe it is not the best game of your life, but still you come back and get the points. That means something.

"We have to be strong and at least we have come back fighting until the end.

"This is the most important sign. We are still at the top, we have to be strong. We have to try to be there until the end."

"I don't think there is any reason to be down.

"Four weeks ago, we were two points behind Man United, then we were five points in front, now we are one point but still at the top. I don't think that is bad.

"Chelsea have 25 international players, Man United won the league last season, they have a great team.

"We are young and we are there, so we have to look at the positives, not the negatives."

90 minutes is a test for every team. It definitely determines a WIN WIN or LOSE LOSE situation. Maturity was seen during the past 2 games (BIR & AST matches). We'd definitely passed the mental & physical tests from two hard fought games. Come on! Let's fight till the end. Look at the bright side yea? Guess which team are looking above @ us until now in the League table? Live the passion, Learn the lessons, Win this season!

That's right Cesc! We all know it is going to be difficult, but never give in. All you have to do is to believe that you can, and it will surely come to pass. Come May Arsenal will win the EPL.
