Wenger frustrated at extra fixture

Arsene Wenger accepts Arsenal could have done with a “little breather” rather than tackle Leyton Orient in a FA Cup fifth-round replay, but maintains the Gunners can sustain their assault on four fronts.

Wenger made 10 changes from the side which had beaten Barcelona in midweek, but his team lacked a cutting edge in attack before eventually making the breakthrough when Tomas Rosicky headed in at the start of the second half.
