Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was delighted to see Emmanuel Eboue on the scoresheet again against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

Eboue has endured his toughest season yet in north London and has been barracked at times by the home supporters.

But he had one of his better days as he converted Andrey Arshavin's parried effort and then slotted home an injury-time penalty.

"I am pleased that he has started to score goals, because he looked to us that he might never score," said Wenger.

"It shows also the importance of a psychological factor, because he scored last week and again this week. If he had not scored the first goal and not scored last week he would certainly not have taken the penalty; that shows the importance of confidence."
