Cesc Fabregas has dedicated Arsenal's victory at Chelsea on Sunday to manager Arsene Wenger.

"Sometimes the boss has been the only one who has believed in us," the 21-year-old said. "He knows what we can do and we proved against Chelsea that he is not wrong.

"Now it is up to us to keep going and doing it game by game."

It was a good end to Fabregas' first week as the new captain, following on from the home win over Dynamo Kiev which secured Arsenal's place in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

"For me, all that is important is the attitude of the team, the discipline and the character we show," he said.

"When you play next to these guys, you can see the effort they put in and that they are not afraid to play against anyone in the league.

"I am really proud to be their captain and hopefully we can keep going like that."
