Wenger: our best comeback ever

After Arsenal picked up a late 3-2 victory over Bolton at the Reebok Stadium with only 10 men, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger labelled the comeback as his sides 'best ever'. The Gunners trailed Bolton 2-0 at half time, before a second half come back that gives them a small chance of Premiership glory.

"I can't remember a better comeback than that - to be 2-0 down, with 10 men and win 3-2 with just half an hour to go is a great credit to the team," said Wenger.

"I am very proud of our performance because we got a big blow last week (losing to Chelsea) but responded well.

"The first half we didn't play badly but everything went against us.

"Not only was their first shot on target a goal but we had a player sent off and just before we go to half-time they score a second one which was a big blow.

"The last 30 minutes we had chance after chance and in the end we were a bit lucky on the third goal but we did absolutely everything to win the game and we got a very important victory for us."

"I'm not disheartened. I still believe in the title as we still have seven games to play. I believe in my team-mates and we will fight to the end. We can still do it."
