The Toffees further strengthened their case by taking apart Arsenal at Goodison Park and are now one point behind the Gunners and with a game in hand. But Wenger is certain that no one should start to doubt the spirit within his side, even if they have now made the race for a top four spot an open one.
The Frenchman said via his club's site: "I wouldn't question the spirit of this team.
