Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Cesc Fabregas' performance in the win over Aston Villa was the best he's ever seen.

Cesc scored twice in a 27 minute cameo before being forced off with a hamstring strain.

"I have not seen many performances like that, no," admitted the manager to arsenal.com.

"I believe Cesc got up for it from the outside. He saw that we did dominate the game but we couldn't score. You feel he was super-focused when he came on.

"I didn't say anything to him, I just told him to warm up straight after half-time because I knew we needed a long warm-up. I had in my mind already after the first-half that I might be in a position where I have to play him."
