Wenger relieved as Gunners stop the rot

Arsene Wenger insisted that Arsenal’s luck had turned today after watching his side end their four-match losing sequence with a 1-0 victory in a frantic London derby against Fulham.

The Gunners, however, had to rely on a freak own goal from Steve Marlet and some generous refereeing from Jeff Winter who waved away appeals for Fulham penalties twice after Arsenal defender Sol Campbell had brought down Luis Boa Morte.
