    Emmanuel Adebayor admits it was a relief to end his mini goal-drought at Reading on Monday.

    The Arsenal striker had gone eight games without scoring before he calmly slotted home his side&rsquo;s second at the Madejski Stadium. The 23-year-old was well aware of his shot-shy spell in recent weeks.

    &ldquo;I had not scored for a while and, yes, that was on my mind,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo; As a striker it is important to score. That is what you are judged on.

    &ldquo;However the most important thing was to do a good job and win the game &mdash; and to be back at the top is great as well.</p>

    &ldquo;We wanted to stay ahead of Manchester [United] and show them we are strong. We have done that.
    &ldquo;Of course it is a long title race and it is where you are at the end of the season that matters but we are very happy with how things are going.</p>

    &ldquo;It is very important [to be top] going into the international break. It gives us a lot of confidence. We are playing really good football and there is a great feeling in the team. We are like a family and the spirit is excellent.</p>

    &ldquo;We believe the squad is strong - you can see in the Carling Cup and against Slavia Prague. All the young players can come in and do a good job.</p>

    &ldquo;That is important because there are a lot of games coming up and you need all your players.&rdquo;</p>
