Wenger targets home help

Arsene Wenger accepts Arsenal must learn how to make the most of home advantage if they are to force themselves back into the Barclays Premier League title race after suffering a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Newcastle at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners failed to capitalise on Chelsea’s loss at Liverpool when they were beaten by Andy Carroll’s header just before the break, when goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski failed to collect a looping free-kick into the penalty area.
