Fabregas sights on second
-
Cesc Fabregas insists Arsenal are still aiming to claim second spot in the Premiership this season.
Though The Gunners have a game in hand, they still trail Chelsea by 11 points in the quest to secure automatic qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League.
But despite the odds seemingly against Arsenal overhauling Chelsea, Fabregas has been buoyed by Wednesday's 1-0 win at Aston Villa.
"We needed a victory like that where maybe we didn't play our best game, but we showed patience and we were a bit lucky in the goal that we scored," Fabregas told Sky Sports News.
"It's a really good victory for us to see if we can still reach second place, which would be good.
"I believe even more, I think, to say that we can still fight for second place it is really good, so let's see what happens until the end as you can never say never in football."
Arsenal will end the season without any silverware after their recent cup setbacks, but Fabregas is confident the team will be stronger next term.
He added: "I feel the team is growing up and for next season will be great.
"We will benefit from the disappointment of the last two weeks. Whenever you have disappointment, you get stronger and stronger and stronger.
"We were all low after the PSV Eindhoven game. Whenever we lose it is a disappointment because we are Arsenal and we always have to be at the top.
"All our fans want us to win trophies. This year it is not going to be possible unless something strange happens in the league, but we have still got belief.
"You have to come back and be stronger in life and similar sorts of things happen in football. Now we have to learn from these mistakes." -
