Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey was delighted to be part of victory at Manchester City.
The Gunners, who beat City to lift the Community Shield in August and drew against Manuel Pellegrini's men at the Emirates a month later, thoroughly deserved all three points and the margin of victory could have been greater.
"Everybody else won on the weekend so it was important for us to get the win as well, which we did," he told Sky Sports 1.
"Hopefully we can build on this and have a good second half of the season.
"We're still in the Champions League, the FA Cup and still got a long way to go in the league so we're in a good place and we're all behind each other and hopefully we can kick on now."
