Wenger: we proved ourselves

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger praised his young side after defeating Reading 2-0 at the Emirates thanks to goals from Emmanuel Adebayor and Gilberto Silva; the Gunners perhaps should've scored more but for the woodwork which van Persie and Walcott both struck.

Wenger said: "In this match we showed what quality we do have and that the team is strong.

"We are still ambitious - we have 74 points and want to finish with 83 points which is a decent total. We want to finish off as close as we can to the winners of the league.

"We showed pride and responded after the disappointment of last week.

"We have to bounce back because the strong always come back stronger."
