Martinez remains optimistic

Cape Town - Everton manager Roberto Martinez was left frustrated after a defeat that means his side have won just once in their last eleven league games.

Olivier Giroud has made amends for his midweek nightmare against Monaco to set up Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Everton at the Emirates Stadium that moved Arsene Wenger's side back up to third in the Premier League on Sunday.

Nonetheless, Martinez sees grounds for optimism and insists his side is improving.
