Arsene Wenger's Gunners - who were without injured captain William Gallas plus fellow defenders Kolo Toure and Bacary Sagna - look a huge step towards the Champions League knockout stages following following their stunning 5-2 Champions League win over Fenerbahce in Istanbul.
Silvestre, who put through his own net, was making only his second appearance since signing from Manchester United because of a thigh problem. The 31-year-old, though, maintains he is relishing working alongside such a talented young bunch.
"At United, I didn't have to shout that much to guide my partners. It is a responsibility, but when I signed for Arsenal I accepted it straight away," said the former France defender.
"It was not easy to come here with a good atmosphere against us and I think we coped not too bad with the experienced players we played against.
"It was a good game to improve and learn from. Hopefully we can get some consistency."
