Wenger: 'Arsenal fully deserved point'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has praised the "great response" shown by his players to come from behind to rescue a 2-2 draw against Everton.

The Toffees raced into a two-goal half-time lead at Goodison Park this evening, before goals from Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud rescued a point for the visitors.

"We have a great response with complete desire to come back and the spirit was fantastic," Wenger told Sky Sports News.

"In the end we got back to 2-2 and we got a strong point but a deserved one if you look at the chances we had, especially in the second half.

"We came back very late but our spirit got us a point. It shows the belief and the resilience is there. The second goal was offside but we took it on the chin and came back."

The Gunners end the day in third place in the early Premier League standings.
