Arsene Wenger's side also got off to the best possible start in the UEFA Champions League
on Wednesday, as they swept aside Braga 6-0. The Gunners currently sit second in the Premier League standings, with just two points dropped so far.That result took the Gunners' scoring tally for the season to 19, suggesting they are capable of challenging on multiple fronts this term.
Club captain Fabregas
hopes that proves to be the case, but he has pointed to the lapse in concentration which allowed Bolton to find the target in last weekend's 4-1 win at Emirates Stadium as proof that Arsenal are not yet the finished article."We made a mistake at the back towards the end of the first half and were punished - we cannot afford to do that at this level, and it shows there are still things to improve on," said the Spaniard.
"In our defending as a team, we will need to get a little better to be at the top."
Happier
Fabregas, who bagged a brace in the midweek romp over Braga, feels he too is starting to hit top gear following a hectic summer.Having helped Spain to World Cup glory in South Africa,
and with the added distraction of incessant transfer speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona, it was always going to take the 23-year-old time to find his feet."After being disappointed with my performance at Blackburn, I felt better on Saturday against Bolton," he said.
"Physically in terms of how I played, I was happier - but I would rather focus on the team, because the performance overall was a good one."
