Arsenal boss Wenger happy to overcome Brighton

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was pleased with their FA Cup win at Brighton.

Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil were both on the scoresheet in the Gunners' win.

Wenger will become the most successful manager in FA Cup history if the Gunners retain the trophy at the end of the season but he is not looking too far ahead.

"We have a goal (to win the trophy), of course, but it's such a long way to go and you've seen today again the tie is not predictable until the last minute," the Frenchman said.

"You have to fight for it, we are ready for a fight."
