Wenger praises Gunners' demolition of rivals

Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal passed a “big mental test” by giving the perfect response to their critics with a comprehensive demolition of Steve McClaren’s FC Twente to secure a place in Thursday’s draw for the Champions League group stage.

The Gunners – who were already leading 2-0 from the first leg in Holland - bounced back from a lacklustre display in the Barclays Premier League defeat at Fulham on Saturday to dominate the outclassed Dutch side from kick-off.
