Arsene Wenger "pleased" with display against Everton

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that his side produced a "very convincing" display against Everton in their pre-season friendly this afternoon.

The Gunners continued their preparations for the new Premier League campaign by easing to a 3-1 win over the Toffees at the Singapore National Stadium.

"I'm pleased with the performance because the focus in pre-season is to find the quality of our game back and I think for long periods we played in a very convincing way and the way we want to play - together, with good team play," Wenger told reporters.

"Everybody shared the same vision on the pitch of the game we want to play. That's positive.

"In pre-season you start to build your confidence up and the wins help. [You improve] your fitness, and having these kind of games in the heat helps as well. The quality of the performance provoked a good intensity. For us, it's a good preparation."

Arsenal will begin their new Premier League season with a clash against West Ham United at the Emirates on August 9.
