Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was pleased with Samir Nasri's contribution from central midfield in their victory over Bolton Wanderers.
"He gave us a little bit more creativity in the centre, especially in a tight game like that," the manager told arsenal.com.
"Of course, he [Nasri] is a link player and can also pass people.
"From then on it became a little bit more difficult for Bolton. It was my idea - sometimes accidentally I have them."
