Arsenal boss Wenger delighted with Bendtner performance

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was delighted to see Nicklas Bendtner score in last night's 2-0 Carling Cup defeat of Newcastle United.

Wenger believes the 19-year-old can have an impact.

"His presence in the game was great," said the Arsenal boss. "The best way for him to put me under pressure was to play like he played tonight.

"We have four strikers, not 20, so in a season you need that."
