Defender Mikael Silvestre is looking forward to putting things right in a week to forget, starting with the match against Stoke City later today.

The Frenchman scored a goal in the 4-4 draw against Tottenham but says that the players have put that disappointing result behind them, and are focused instead on beating Stoke.

Silvestre said: "As the manager said there were a lot of positive things about this game but it is something we have to bounce back from very quickly.

"It was painful because, at 4-2 up, you think you have won it and conceding two goals in the last four or five minutes of the game is very hard. It feels like we lost that game.

"I didn't think I would score that early in my Arsenal career but it was good to get it back to 1-1.

"I think we made it difficult for ourselves because we had to concede that first goal to press a bit more, be more aggressive and more positive in our game.

"We would rather play like we played at West Ham, where we were much more sturdy. It was a good team performance there. If we can repeat that [on Saturday] it would be better than the 4-4."
