Wenger confident of Arsenal recovery

Arsene Wenger remains confident that Arsenal's recent return to form shows the club are starting to recover after the initial disappointment of the new season. The Gunners won 1-0 away at Marseille on Wednesday night.

Arsene Wenger also guided Arsenal to a 2-1 win over Sunderland in the Premier League on Sunday, and the Gunners have now moved up to 10th place in the league.

We haven't always been lucky in this competition," Wenger said. "But my three subs combined for the goal. That makes me lucky.

"We lost a late goal to Dortmund and we lost the Champions League final (to Barcelona in 2006) in the final 10 minutes with 10 men.

"We have made a little step forward but we have to be humble. We are a team who has to continue to grow. It will help our confidence.

"If you look back at the last five or six games, you will see only one defeat. We are slowly getting there. This result will help."
