Arsene Wenger has hailed the mental strength of his young Arsenal side after victory over Blackburn saw them progress to the semi-finals of the Carling Cup.
The Gunners took a two-goal lead against Mark Hughes' men, but a brace from Roque Santa Cruz saw the game head into extra-time.
Arsenal - who were reduced to 10 men when Denilson was dismissed on 90 minutes - eventually ran out winners courtesy of Eduardo da Silva's strike.
And Wenger has praised the grit and determination of young side, pinpointing their mental toughness. |
