Arsene Wenger shocked at Newcastle United draw: Andrei Arshavin
Arsenal’s Russian winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771 has acknowledged that their manager Arsene Wenger was heartbroken after the Gunners let their four-goal lead slip in the second-half against Newcastle United at St. James Park.
Arshavin claimed that the Gunners boss was speechless and stunned after Arsenal only managed a single point against the Magpies.
Arsenal opened the scoring in the first minute of the match through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 scored a brace to kill the game, as the Gunners scored four
goals in 26 minutes.
However, the course of the game suddenly changed following the sending-off of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Abou-Diaby-c3453 in the second half. The Magpies then managed a remarkable come back and for the first time in the Barclays Premier League history, a team managed to get a draw after
being four goals down.
Arshavin said, “He didn't say anything at all to us. He was disappointed and distraught too, like any man would be in his shoes and under such circumstances. Naturally, we were all sad. Only Manchester United being defeated later that night sweetened the
pill a bit.”
“But we are not psychologically broken. We just cannot afford to be. If we want to win, we must not be sitting and moaning. We need to analyse that unfortunate match and draw the right conclusions from it. That day is over and left behind. We need to think
and prepare for the next match in the Premier League against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952,” he added.
The Russian skipper admitted that it was an unbelievable result, as for the first time in the Barclays Premier League any team has let their four-goal lead slip.
Moreover, Arsene Wenger also claimed that his team suffered a psychological blow following their four-four draw.
However, Manchester United’s two-one defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers seemed to have softened the pressure on Arsenal players, as it is being considered a point gained for the Gunners.
Arsenal are currently placed second in the Barclays Premier League and are only four points behind the league leaders Manchester United.
