“We were a bit lucky” – Wenger admits after 3-1 win against Sunderland

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, has admitted that his team were probably lucky to have defeated Sunderland 3-1 at the Stadium of Light.

The Gunners took the lead in the 11th minute, after debutant Mesut Ozil slipped in a fine pass for Olivier Giroud to score. Sunderland equalised through Craig Gardener, before Aaron Ramsey grabbed a brace to settle matters.
However, Martin Atkinson disallowed a Jozy Altidore’s goal, shortly before Ramsey  wrapped up the win.
Wenger said: “We were a bit lucky at 2-1 maybe, but we found the mental resources to win.
“It could have been a foul for us as well because Altidore took Sagna as well but the referee blew before the goal, I was sure of that because I saw him.''
