Arsene Wenger rues missed chances

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he thought his side could have beaten Manchester City if they hadn't squandered so many chances.

The Gunners came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against the Premier League champions, after Laurent Koscielny cancelled out Joleon Lescott's opener to earn the North Londoners a point.

However, Wenger feels that his side were presented with enough opportunities to go and win the match at the Etihad Stadium.

"We are happy because we didn't lose the game but also a bit frustrated as well because we had early chances and late chances especially with Gervinho where we could have won the game," said Wenger.

"But overall what happened today must strengthen the belief of our team.

"I am pleased also with the quality of our performance and our spirit. Also a bit frustrated because I feel there was room to do more."

Arsenal host Chelsea in their next Premier League match on Saturday.
