Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes their knack to win games late on is a great development for his young team.

Nicklas Bendtner was on hand to hit a late winner at Hull City on the weekend.

And Wenger told arsenal.com: “It is something special for such a young team to have that. It comes from the desire to win something.

“We started to build this team three or four years ago. The age is around 22 and now people are saying: 'yes, but what did you win?' Well that desire to win something is certainly evident.

“We haven't won anything yet and as long as you have not won anything it will play on your mind. We have lost the spine of our team [in recent games] yet we can still turn up and win games. That shows something. We have built a good squad here with an exceptional spirit.”
