Arsene Wenger 'regrets' Anderlecht draw as Arsenal finish second

Arsene Wenger has said that his side may rue their 3-3 draw at home to Anderlecht earlier in this season's Champions League after finishing as Group D runners-up.

The Gunners swept aside Galatasaray with a 4-1 win in their final group game, but it wasn't enough to seal first place as Borussia Dortmund's 1-1 draw with Anderlecht saw them top the group.

Although Wenger praised his side's performance in Istanbul, the Frenchman has said that the second-half capitulation at home to Anderlecht could come back to haunt them if they are handed a tough last-16 tie.

He told Sky Sports News: "We won four games, lost one and had one draw. Looking back, we can maybe regret that point at home to Anderlecht.

"There's some great teams in the draw for the last 16 and we need to wait and see who we get."

Arsenal have qualified for the knockout round of the competition for the 15th successive season.
