Five alive: Emmanuel Adebayor celebrates Arsenal's fifth

"We have to win the last two games and then we will see. We are not the favourites but you never know."

Fabregas added: "They started very strong and put us under a lot of pressure. After we made it 1-3 we relaxed a bit but they made it 2-3 and we knew we had to push.

"But fortunately we responded straight away and Theo (Walcott) scored a great goal."

The midfielder also paid tribute to Adebayor, adding: "He makes a difference every time he plays, he's a striker who can do everything. We should feel fortunate to have him."

Sticking to his guns: Cesc Fabregas, pictured before the 6-2 victory over Derby, is refusing to give up the title chase

Arsenal goal celebration that mimicked one by Rob Earnshaw after his strike had pulled Derby to within reach of Arsenal at 3-2.

Adebayor, who also scored a treble in the home game against Derby earlier in the season, was keen to praise his team-mates for their service.

"It was an important game for us and we want to finish as strongly as possible," he said. "It was an important game for us because we want to finish as strongly as possible.

"Every time I have a good ball to finish. I'm very happy but the most important thing is for the team to win."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was more cautious than Fabregas, insisting the Gunners "need a miracle" to claim the title.

"Probable, no. Possible, yes," he told Setanta Sports. "But we would need a miracle. We've set ourselves an 83-point target. We can get to 80 against Everton so let's do it."
