Arsène Wenger and Nicklas Bendtner have both spoken about Arsenal's determination to score late goals this season.

Bendtner's stoppage time winner at Hull on Saturday could prove crucial to the title race, and Wenger believes Arsenal's spirit has helped them score a lot of late goals this season.

He said: "I believe that this season nobody has scored more than Arsenal in the last 15 minutes.

"Maybe it is down to a technical superiority and a never-give-up attitude. That is what I like in my team. When I see them on the pitch, I know they will not give up."

Meanwhile, goalscorer Bendtner claims he always felt a goal was coming against Hull, but he and his team-mates knew they would have to be patient to get it.

He said: "If you give up after 80 minutes then you cannot be a player.

"We showed great character as we did against Stoke and we are going to keep on doing this.

"I always believe until the last minute that we can do it because I have seen it so many times.

"We pass the ball around and you think it's over but then we score a goal out of nothing. I always had that belief and I think the rest of the team had it and that showed again.

"We said to each other before the game that we were going to have to be patient because they were going to put a lot of men behind the ball when they don't have it. Even when they got the red card, they defended really well.

"It was important for us to keep going and even in the 90th minute of the game you can still score."
