The France international grabbed the Red Devils' second goal after Robin van Persie came back to haunt his former club scoring the opener.
Santi Cazorla's consolation strike failed to hide the fact that the Gunners were outplayed at Old Trafford.
Evra admitted it was disappointing United did not score more goals, seeing as they created numerous chances.
However, the 31-year-old was able to reflect on what was a good week for the team, as they recorded wins over Chelsea and Arsenal.
"We're a little bit disappointed we didn't keep a clean sheet but in the end it was an important win and that's what everyone was looking for before the game. It's been a terrific week for us," he told the club's official website.
"The expectations are very high here and we should have scored more goals - we felt like we had lost the game in the dressing room afterwards.
"If we had taken every chance we created it would have been a different game, but to only finish 2-1 is a bit disappointing.
"When [your expectations] are so high you can sometimes forget that you've beaten a team like Arsenal. It's a big game we have won."
And Evra believes Sir Alex Ferguson's side have the quality to wrest the title back from neighbours Manchester City.
He added: "We've won at Liverpool, at Chelsea and now we have beaten Arsenal.
"Last season we didn't do that and that's why as a team we know we have the potential and the quality to win the league."
