Wenger: 'Collectively we completely dominated the game'

"For us it was important to us to get a win in a big place, to strengthen belief of the squad and continue our march forward. I think we did it today with calm intelligence and overall the needed performance to play against 10 men.

"I think collectively we completely dominated the game. I hope that will give us the belief and confidence to take into other games.

"It looked to me that it was a sending off from the bench and the referee had no option. After the sending off it became electric and we got some yellow cards quickly.

"It was important that we did not get a second yellow and I asked the players at half-time to focus on playing in a positive way and to try to score a second goal, to focus on playing football and not just defending our advantage.

"From game to game, Fabianski shows what we see in training. Sometimes in our job you have to be steady and fight against opinions. It is easier when you know a player has the talent and I believe he has the talent."
