Arsenal boss Wenger happy Van Persie fit and firing for Barcelona

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was happy seeing Robin van Persie grab both goals in victory over Wolves.

Wenger is pleased to have his main striker in form ahead of their Champions League date with Barcelona.

He told arsenal.com: "He scored two different goals, one with his right foot - that is not usually what he likes to do - and one on the counter-attack where we know we can be very dangerous."

On Van Persie's knee injury, Wenger added: "Yes [he is OK]. He looks alright, I think he will be alright for Wednesday. I have decided not to talk about the challenge [by Zubar]."
