Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger had no problem with Nicklas Bendtner's scattergun shooting in yesterday's 3-1 win over Burnley.

The Dane missed a hatful of chances in the triumph.

Wenger said: "It could have been four, five or six but as well they had a chance to make it 2-2 after a corner.

"In the end you are happy when you miss the chances we missed today, but you get the three points."

The Arsenal manager added: "I believe on the surface he looks like 'okay, I missed the chances', but underneath he is really disappointed.

"In his finishing, he missed chance after chance, but if you are a striker, it is like that. You think 'I missed the first one, but I will score the next one'.

"Once you have missed the second one, you are in trouble because after you do not know how to take the third one - do I really go for it, or wait for the ball? That is what happened to him today."
