Arsenal Rises To 3rd Place
Robin van Persie has urged his Arsenal team-mates to keep up the intensity for the rest of the season and prove they can be consistent over a period of months.
“If you look at the last couple of weeks, we showed we have a lot of character in our side, and we can be proud of that," said Van Persie. “Now we need to show that over a period of a whole year. We need to have a run like that for months and even win the ugly games."
By defeating Everton 0-1, Arsenal make it six league wins in a row as they move one step closer to cementing a top-four finish.
Arsenal has risen to third place in the Premier League and is looking fit in the race for the trophy and Champions League Qualification going into the Spring.

Argentina 1-1 Bolivia
Copa America Update
Two of the top footballers in European competition are playing for Argentina in the Copa America - Carlos Tevez (Manchester City, Premier League) and Lionel Messi (AC Milan, Serie A). Argentina sit in second place in Group A after earning a draw against Bolivia.
The Argentine team's best chance, in the first half, came through Messi. After a speed play, Messi passed to Tevez, who forced goalkeeper Carlos Arias to a great save.
It was only the first match of Argentina, and Lionel Messi was not satisfied with the performance of Argentina.
"Not what we expected, now we have to win the next matches" he said.
All national teams have played their first match. In six matches, four draws occurred and only Colombia and Chile emerged as winners. Only eight goals were scored to date.
