Arsene Wenger dismisses 'mental block' suggestion in big games

Arsen Wengers denies that Arsenal suffer from a mental block in the big games following Arsenal's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United.

Arsene Wenger has insisted that his side do have the mental strength required to win big games despite yesterday's 2-1 loss at home to Manchester United.

Arsenal dominated proceedings at the Emirates Stadium, but went on to lose for the 11th time in the last 15 meetings between the two sides - a run in which the Gunners have won just once.

However, when asked by the club's official website if his team are struggling to overcome a psychological barrier in the big games, Wenger said: "No because we played with freedom and we pressed them very high.

"We won balls back and we had plenty of opportunities to finish this game off.

"I think we made a big mistake on the first goal and when you're 1-0 down you're too impatient. We were not cautious enough and we gave the second goal away."

The result leaves Arsenal in eighth place, 15 points behind league leaders Chelsea
