Arsenal duo Cesc Fabregas had been out since mid-September with a hamstring problem, while Jack Wilshere had a point to prove following his headline-grabbing red card on Saturday. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been impressed by the pairing.
He said: "I am convinced it works well together.
"Jack has a good maturity level. You never think he is 18 when he plays and overall they combined very well."
Wilshere could be set for another England call-up against France in next month's friendly at Wembley.
On the possibility of the 18-year-old being handed a first start, Wenger noted: "Without wanting to make headlines, it's difficult to say.
"If you ask me the reverse question, do you think he is not ready to play for England? It's hard to say no."
The Frenchman, though, warned against over-expectation.
"We have to give him time and let him play - I know that's not easy for you and not your [media's] greatest strength."
Wenger said: "Sometimes when you get such a storm you want to go the other way, but what was important was that he just played football.
"Jack is a player with a good technical level, but as well is a player who doesn't hide from challenges, and that is a tremendous strength which you do not want to lose."
