Wenger happy for late Arsenal

Arsene Wenger was delighted that his Arsenal side managed to protect their undefeated Emirates record this season thanks to Nicklas Bendtner's injury time equaliser against Aston Villa.

Wenger said: "The point we gained today will have a big impact on the league.

"If we had lost, that would be different, but we are still top.

"Everyone goes through a bad spell, but every point gained is of vital importance.

"I know we are not people's favourites any more for the title, but we are still a point in front, we have lost just once all season and we just need to bounce back from this bad spell.

"In terms of momentum, Manchester United have it - but my favourites are Arsenal."
