Manager Arsène Wenger says that he's happy with the return of captain Francesc Fabregas from injury.

Many felt that the Gunners missed the creative spark of the Spaniard, and Wenger tried to ease Fabregas into his first competitive match by ensuring that midfielders Abou Diaby and Denilson covered defensively for him.

Wenger said: "It was a good team performance. I think Cesc had Denilson and Song behind him who did a good defensive job for him.

"That meant he could dedicate more of his energy to the offensive task.

"He likes to come deep and play the long balls. At the moment he is still in the phase where he gets to know all the aspects of the game – in defence and attack – so I use him a little bit to adjust the balance of the team.

"Today I felt I had the choice to put Arshavin in behind Adebayor but then I had to move one of the central midfielders wide. I just felt it was more balanced like that."
