Wenger: It was a confident performance today

Manager Arsène Wenger was happy with the confident performance in the 2-0 win over Manchester City today.

Two goals from the returning Emmanuel Adebayor saw off the mega-rich club.

Wenger said: "We had a strongly balanced performance, offensively and defensively against a good Man City side, especially in the first half.

"In the second half we completely took over and maybe should have scored more goals.

"Overall I am pleased because there is a lightness back in the team and the way we play.

"Everybody looks to enjoy, and play without the handbrake or any restriction. That is good to see.

"We are in a good position now and that wasn't obvious three weeks ago.

"We want the biggest possible distance from Aston Villa because we still have a difficult schedule; we play Liverpool, Man United and Chelsea.

"Three weeks ago we would have signed to be in this position."
