Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta has claimed that his side were well worth their 4-1 win against Everton this afternoon.

The Spaniard scored a 68th-minute penalty to make it 2-1 before Olivier Giroud's quick-fire double gave the scoreline a flattering look.

However, Arteta believes that the Gunners more than deserved the win that takes them to the FA Cup semi-finals.

He told ITV Sport: "I think overall, we dominated that the game and had the better chances. Everton are a very good side when they break and counter you.

"Overall though, we're happy to be on the winning side and we deserved it. You have to keep your concentration [when taking a penalty] and you need those levels high, and I tried to see what the keeper was doing.

"An FA Cup win would be amazing, and we have a big chance to do that now."

The semi-final will be played at Wembley.
