Arsene Wenger's team beat Dynamo Kiev 1-0 at Emirates Stadium to hand Fabregas a winning start to his reign as skipper, after he replaced William Gallas, and bring a happy conclusion to a week of turmoil for Arsenal.

Fabregas said: "The aim is to lift a trophy. We are in the last 16 of the Champions League and are in contention in every competition."

Gallas was stripped of the captaincy after publicly criticising his team-mates in an incredible outburst last week, although he was restored to the starting XI against Kiev after being left out of the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City last weekend.

Fabregas saw enough in the performance to believe his team-mates are still in the hunt for the Premier League title. He said: "We have played only 14 League games this season and it is not over yet. Nothing is done and we will fight until the end."

After the match, Wenger revealed that injured trio Samir Nasri, Emmanuel Adebayor and Bacary Sagna had a "50-50" chance of recovering in time for Sunday's clash Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
