Wenger: Arsenal still strong


Arsene Wenger was pleased with the response of his Arsenal side to the 5-1 trashing at Liverpool and feels the Gunners are still in a strong position in spite of their struggles during the 0-0 draw with Manchester United.
Chances were at a premium between the two sides in a match which failed to live up to its hype. The result leaves Chelsea top of the table by a point.
United could well have left north London with victory but for a brilliant save from Wojciech Szczesny who pushed a header from Robin van Persie onto the crossbar but Wenger was satisfied with a point.
The Arsenal manager said: "It was important not to lose, but it was also important to win. I felt we were nervous.
"Our team was highly focused not to concede, and that maybe restricted our game going forward a little bit because we were certainly hit by the five goals we conceded on Saturday, and you could feel that here."
