Wenger: I was worried when we went behind

Manager Arsène Wenger admits that he was worried when his team went behind to Wigan Athletic in the Premiership yesterday.

The Frenchman praised the opposition's organisation and determination, but Arsenal's pressure eventually told and four goals sealed the three points for the Gunners.

Wenger said: "Yes, I was [worried]. I felt that Wigan had a very strong and especially committed first half where they were well organised and the 50:50s were all for them.

"They played very strongly and I think that slowly our technique took over and we looked dangerous every time we had the ball.

"The fatigue crept in a little bit for Wigan and it became logical for us to come back and make the difference."

I was not sure if we can win that match from first half performance, but second half we played like champions
