Arsenal are back on track, says Wenger

Charlton 0 Arsenal 1

Charlton, though sliding rapidly down the table, have always been tricky opposition for Arsenal and were equally in need of a win in this sometimes heated all-London fixture.

While Alan Curbishley’s side now face a long trip north to play Newcastle tomorrow, Arsenal can prepare in upbeat mood for a relatively low key home game against struggling Portsmouth thanks to a rare second-half goal from Jose Antonio Reyes.
