Manager Arsène Wenger has praised his team's maturity and experience in handling any potential comeback from Hull City over the weekend.

Hull had originally defeated the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season, even though the Gunners had scored first.

This time, the Gunners also went 1-0 up but Hull equalised and it looked like a repeat was on the cards.

Wenger said: "We were 1-0 up [at Emirates] and yet they won 2-1. When they came back to 1-1 [on Saturday] certainly people thought it would happen again.

"But I believe that this team has grown now. They did not give up and it was a battle in the second half. They were up for it.

"There would have been headlines [saying that our title chances were over if we had lost] but it would not necessarily have been a reality but anyway the team has to deal with that kind of headline because everybody expects so much of them.

"I am not worried though. I am just focusing on doing what we do well and get the team [focused] on their resilience."
