Arsene Wenger relieved after Arsenal beat West Brom

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits there was "tension" around his team's game with West Brom after the Gunners' poor recent form but is pleased with the "positive spirit" they showed in their 2-0 win.

Wenger admits his team "may have got a little lucky" with their first penalty of the match after Steven Reid was controversially adjudged to have fouled Santi Cazorla, The Gunners got another spot kick later in the game and both chances were converted by Mikel Arteta.

Wenger also refused to rule out a second return to Arsenal for club legend Thierry Henry, who watched the game from the stands. "I have not thought about it," said the Frenchman "we have a game on Tuesday, but after that I will have time to think about it."
