Frustrated Wenger accuses players of naivety

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger admitted his side had been naive to throw away victory after conceding a stoppage-time equaliser in last night’s Champions League Group H clash at AZ Alkmaar.

The Gunners appeared to be on their way to a third straight European win and all but into the knockout stages following Cesc Fabregas’ 35th-minute strike.

However, the Dutch side, managed by Ronald Koeman, refused to give up and snatched a point at the death when David Mendes da Silva blasted in from close range after a ball into the box had been flicked on by substitute Graziano Pelle.
