Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted for his player after a convincing 3-1 win against Chelsea.
Two first-half goals set the platform for the Gunners' first top-flight win since 1 November.
Alexandre Lacazette sent goalkeeper Edouard Mendy the wrong way from the penalty spot and Granit Xhaka curled in a superb free-kick 10 minutes later to put Arteta's side in control.
Bukayo Saka's cross then dropped into the top corner early in the second half to put the game beyond the visitors.
Tammy Abraham scored from close range to make it a nervy final five minutes for the hosts and Jorginho then saw his weak penalty saved by Bernd Leno.
Arteta told BBC Sport: "The result is the main thing, we really needed that win. We have been unlucky and frustrated with our results in the last eight weeks so this was a big day for us.
"From the first whistle you could see the team had the energy and willingness to come out and win the game.
"The spirit before the game was really positive, they really wanted it. I am pleased for the players and for the supporters, We have let them down for many weeks so it was a good day to give them something to cheer about."
