Commenting after yesterday's 2-1 win over Hull City, manager Arsène Wenger said that late goals from his team are not particularly good for his heart!

Arsenal took the lead through Andrey Arshavin, and were dominating at the KC Stadium despite the atrocious state of the pitch, before defender Sol Campbell conceded a penalty and Hull equalised.

Hull then had captain George Boateng sent off for two bookable offences, yet Arsenal created little then, to be fair, but gradually regained their foothold in the game.

The breakthrough came in the 93rd minute of injury time, when a Denilson shot was palmed away and Nicklas Bendtner reacted to tuck away the rebound.

Wenger said: "I could see a last minute goal coming, but I could also see goals missing because we had the chances to score.

"And when you miss so many obvious chances, then you think you will not be punished.

"We're always leaving it until late at the moment, maybe it's not good for my heart, but for the championship, it's not bad.

"I believe that we are in the fight for the title and we have eight games to go. We are in there, why should we not believe?

"What I especially believe is that we will give absolutely everything to do it and we have seen that again today.

"We got jaded but still kept going. There is team spirit there and it is special. You can see that."
