'I'm not happy with my display & my volley was a gamble' - Robin van Persie on Arsenal's win over Everton

Arsene Wenger's side moved up to fourth in the table after securing their seventh victory in eight league games, with the Dutchman netting the only goal of the game



Victory at the Emirates on Saturday made it seven wins in eight league games for Arsene Wenger's side, while Van Persie's decisive strike was the Dutchman's 19th of the campaign.



"It wasn't a great game in my opinion, especially from myself as too often I had touches which did not go the way I wanted," Van Persie told Arsenal Player.



"I'm not really happy with that, with my own performance, but pleased with the win."



On his goal, Van Persie commented: "It was a great pass again from Alex Song, unbelievable. He is a defensive midfielder, but the amount of skill he has is just a dream. A great pass from him.



"Normally I would have touched [the ball] to get it right. It was a bit of a gamble, but in the end a very nice goal inside the post. I can't wish for more."



Van Persie also commended his side for their second consecutive clean sheet in the league and is buoyed by Arsenal's progress after an unconvincing start.



"We've been solid at the back for a couple of weeks now. I mean really solid, lots of things coming together," said Van Persie.



"It was vital to stay on track and get the three points. It was a hard game against a good Everton side. In the end, very pleased."
