Arsenal boss Wenger admits Porto win rescued Fabianski

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits victory over Porto has rescued goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

The Poland goalkeeper, criticised for his display in the first leg, has been saved from a guilt-trip because Arsenal cruised through in the Champions League second leg on Tuesday.

Wenger replied: "Yes, it would have had long-term mental consequences for him had we gone out.

"He could have felt, 'Ah, they blame me.' even if it wasn't true.

"So I think the result on Tuesday has helped him to recover. He is a top-class keeper and one day you will see I'm right."
