Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says victory over Leicester City was deserved.
The Gunners won 2-0 through goals from Thomas Partey and an Alexandre Lacazette penalty.
Arteta said, "Without putting in a performance we don't beat Leicester. They are a good side and made it tough for us. It was a big win for us.
"I was pleased with the understanding of what we had to do. When they started to overload in certain areas, we understood how we had to resolve that. Also pleased with the movement and link-up between the players was terrific.
"The reality in football is when you start to predict what can happen no-one would get it right - the only thing we can control is our performance.
"We are in a good position but there is still a lot to fight for. Next up is Liverpool - we know how tough it will be but we will try to win it."
On his young group of players, he said: "You can sense and feel they are having a good time together and that translates on the pitch."
On Alexandre Lacazette's first goal in seven PL games, Arteta concluded: "We appreciate and understand the work he does for us in certain areas and today we are happy he has been able to score."
