Video Report: Arsenal Beat Middlesborough 2-0

Fabregas found the net twice to wrap up a comfortable win for the Gunners. It is Fabregas first goal since october and it had given Arsenal a timely confidence booast ahead of Wednesday's Champions League encounter with Manchester United.

"It's been a long time" Fabregas told Sky Sports News.
"I had completely lost the feeling of scoring a goal. To score two in a game is always special but the feeling was amazing.

"It keeps going the run we have got in the league and two days before the Manchester United game, which is probably our most important one of the season, it's good for the confidence."

"We played some good stuff, we moved the ball really quick, and every player was good so we are happy with that."

Wednesday Champions League match against Manchester United will be tougher for Arsenal, who cannot field the ineligible Russian playmaker Andrey Arshavin.
