Wenger hails Arsenal response after derby win

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was thrilled with the way his side responded to a disappointing seven days in their 2-1 League Cup win over Tottenham.

The Gunners were shocked by Dinamo Zagreb in their opening Champions League group game last Wednesday before losing 2-0 to Chelsea in a bad-tempered Premier League clash at the weekend.

"It was a very intense game, I think we responded very well, physically and mentally," Wenger told Sky Sports after the match.

"He [Sanchez] had an impact straight away. I think, at the same time, Tottenham dropped a little bit physically which gave us some space to play," Wenger added.

"I've said many times we have to find the right team in the right game. It's not so much a question of ready or not ready, it's a question of finding the right selection for the next game."
