physically and in the first half we controlled the game quite well.”
Nonetheless, the manager soon went on to highlight his team’s spirit and that, it was actually this spirit that helped the team play as good as they have been playing lately.
“Our spirit is exceptional and that’s why we came from a bad start to the season to such a strong run and you could see that some legs were a bit jaded from Sunday. There’s an exceptional spirit and attitude in the side and it is very unusual for us tonight
as we scored from two set-pieces.”
Wenger then ended by revealing that he was uncertain over using Van Persie in the game, but in the end, it turns out that his decision to use his star striker was a stroke of genius.
