Arsenal win 'unexpected', says Wenger

  • Intro:

    Reaction after Arsenal won 2-1 at Anderlecht in UEFA Champions League Group D on Wednesday.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager:

    "I think that the turning point was when not to concede the second goal, they had a good chance they did not take and in the end the quality of the players who came on and our experience made the difference, unexpectedly. But as long as we did not concede the second goal I thought we have a chance at least to take a point, it is a bit unexpected to take the three considering the quality of the match that Anderlecht played tonight."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager:

    "I had no worry for our goalkeeper (Emilio Martinez) because he has the presence, he has the quality and he resists well to stress and (Lukas) Podolski we know he can always score you a goal. He is frustrated and I can of course understand that, but he is important as well and he has shown that again tonight and he will be important in the coming months. I have said that many times, it took him a while to get back to a good physical level and now he is nearly there."

    SOUNDBITE: (French) Besnik Hasi, Anderlecht coach:

    "First of all my team performed almost perfectly, except for the last three minutes. We should have won this game, we always deserved to win this game. We were well positioned during the first half, we did not let Arsenal come close, we let the axe fall, blocked the space, and they created almost nothing. We played the second half trying to find more space, which we used well, we scored the goal at a good time. We had opportunities to score a second goal, we should have scored a second goal to close out the game, but we did not score, and at this level you pay in cash."
