After the shock defeat against Hull City, manager Arsène Wenger has called on his side to regain their focus in time for the clash against former European champions Porto tonight.

The Gunners were accused of complacency and naivety after losing 2-1 to Hull, but Wenger is saying that his side have to put their defeat behind them.

Wenger said: "I believe the Champions League is a different game.

"We have learned from the Hull match that you need a Champions League focus in every game.

"If we are guilty of something it is that we couldn't get our focus to the right level to take our chances.

"The analysis of the game shows that we had enough opportunities to win. On the other hand, they made 100 per cent of the few chances they had. So credit to them and damage to us.

"You have not to make too much of it. We lost a game we did not want to lose but we have enough strength inside the Club and inside the team to deal with that. It can happen but it cannot be repeated.

"I don't think we needed to be woken up but it was a big disappointment because we felt that we had enough quality to win the game."
