Flamini praises fighting spirit

Mathieu Flamini has hailed Arsenal's fighting spirit after seeing his side battle back from two goals down to record a 2-2 draw against Everton.

The Gunners left themselves with a mountain to climb in the second half, but late goals from Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud ensured that they left Goodison Park with a share of the points.

"It was a great performance from the team because being 2-0 down it was not easy for us," Flamini told Sky Sports News.

"There was great spirit today from the boys because we came back in this game, it was not easy. Last time we came here and lost 3-0 so it was a great performance today to come back.

"Overall, we came back today and we tried to be strong offensively. It was not easy, the spirit today was great and we didn't give up until the last minute. It's a game to remember for us."

Arsenal are back in action on Tuesday night with the return leg of their Champions League qualifier against Besiktas at the Emirates Stadium.
