Arsenal hero Szczesny admits Gunners were lucky

Arsenal hero Szczesny admits Gunners were lucky

04 March 2012 - 06:01

Arsenal goalkeeping hero Wojciech Szczesny put in a match winning performance at Liverpool yesterday afternoon, as the Polish goalkeeper made a string of fine saves and kept out a Dirk Kuyt penalty. The Polish stopper admitted that Arsenal were lucky to come home with all 3 points.

  • Arsenal make surprise decision on Viktor Gyokeres
  • Arsenal to battle Napoli to sign Alexsandro Ribeiro?

  • Robin van Persie was on hand to score two important goals to secure all 3 points for the Gunners, leaving Arsenal a massive 10 points ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League table.



    But Szczesny, despite all his heroic efforts, admitted that an element of luck was required in order to enjoy the taste of victory yesterday.



    "We got away with murder at half-time because in the first-half we got killed all over the park," said the keeper. "We were really lucky to come in at 1-1 but used that to our advantage, defended very well in the second half and came away with a late winner.



    "It's a little bit harsh on Liverpool because they played really well for 90 minutes but there were games this season when we deserved to win and lost."
