Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is looking to finish as high as possible after beating Manchester City 3-1 at Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners all but ensured UEFA Champions League football next season with successive home wins over Bolton and then City.
Wenger felt his side deserved victory against Stuart Pearce's men and pointed to Arsenal's eventual winner from Cesc Fabregas as the key moment.
"It's important to finish as high as you can," Wenger told the daily website.
"I think we deserved the win tonight, we had a lot of possession, created a lot of chances and when Manchester City came back to 1-1, it was a test in the second half but we kept our game, were patient and scored.
"That changed it, because after that City changed their shape and opened more up and of course we had many chances to score the third goal.
"Before that they waited for us in the final third and we needed to pass the ball quickly and find that second goal."
Arsenal will end the campaign without any silverware, but Wenger expects his young team to be competing on all fronts next season.
He added: "Yes because this team have already been in the Champions League and I believe we changed the stadium, that's never easy at the start, we dropped some points here."
The problem is some arsenal players are complacent when they're one-nil up. this will make them less attentive esp the defence.
