Wenger: We have character to succeed

Premier League: ARSENAL V STOKE

The Gunners found themselves 2-0 down after an hour against Liverpool in midweek, with sloppy individual mistakes at the back proving costly. However, Arsenal rallied to net two quick goals themselves and could have gone on to win the match.

Wenger moved to bolster his defensive options with the deadline day signing of Spain full-back Nacho Monreal, which will cover for Kieran Gibbs’ enforced absence because of a thigh injury.
