Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal's win over AC Milan proves his beleaguered players are up for the fight of turning their season around.
The Gunners halted a slide of four consecutive defeats thanks to their 2-0 win over Gennaro Gattuso's men to take a major step into the Europa League quarter-finals.
The result comes as a huge relief to Wenger and his players after a dismal run of form that has left the manager facing serious questions about his job.
Likewise, Arsenal's players have been accused of showing a lack of fighting spirit in the midst of growing uncertainty over their manager's position, but Wenger says victory at the San Siro proves his players are not just going through the motions.
