Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "We had a committed and united performance. The keeper made some good saves. We knew we needed to be good in the air today.
"I didn't know why Alex Song's goal didn't stand, I thought it would. We scored a good second goal and had many opportunities to score another. It didn't come and at 2-1 I thought the last 30 minutes would be difficult.
"We did dig deep. It is down to consistency and we are slowly getting there."
