Premier League: Arsene Wenger full of praise for Arsenal's defence after win over Fulham

Arsene Wenger praised Arsenal's defence after their 2-0 home win against Fulham on Saturday in the Premier League.

Midfielder Jack Wilshere was pleased with the Gunners' patience in breaking down a stubborn Fulham. "We've had a few games like that here this season where teams have come here and tried to stop us from playing but we've shown once again we can break anyone down by being patient," he said. "We know we are going to create chances and Santi came up with the goods today. "We're still top of the league and that gives us good confidence and we'll look forward now. "We know we are going to be able to score goals, it's just a matter of putting the ball in the net and being tight at the back, which we've done this season so hopefully we can continue."
