Gunners have learned art of winning ugly

PREMIER LEAGUE:

However Arsene Wenger’s attentions have already turned to an awkward Champions League tie in Istanbul tomorrow that could lever them out of the ground before the cement has time to dry.

A late Aaron Ramsey winner against managerless Crystal Palace, in a match in which Arsenal went 1-0 down in the first half to a header from a corner by debutant Brede Hangeland, ensured there is a very different atmosphere around the Emirates to this time last year when the squad was recovering from a miserable opening-day defeat against Aston Villa — and the FA Cup was yet to be won. But it is certainly not yet time for complacency.
