Wenger said: "I think we had just the right mixture tonight," said Wenger. "West Brom put us under a lot of pressure. We really needed to be focused for 90 minutes and take our chances to go through."

On Graham Stack: "The keeper has done very well and it was a very good game for him. The ball was always in the box and he needed to be brave and not make any mistakes, and that is what he did."

For me, Tavlaridis and Clichy were also excellent, albeit I remain unconvinced that Aliadiere can make it at the highest level.
