Arsenal boss Wenger satisfied with FA Cup win over Burnley

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was satisfied with their victory over FA Cup opponents Burnley.

Francis Coquelin made his first appearance for Arsenal since November after an injury lay-off while new signing Mohamed Elneny was handed his debut.

In total, Wenger made nine changes to the side which suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Chelsea in the Barclays Premier League here last Sunday.

"At the start it looked like it would be easy because we had a lot of the ball and good opportunities around the box," Wenger said.

"When it came back to 1-1 it was a different game. I think we were shocked and they gained belief.

"I saw them in their win against Derby and I could see that they were very efficient, a strong team, no weakness, and they have shown that today.

"In the second half I don't think they created a lot, but we managed to win the game and we looked in control in the end."
