Sunderland boss O'Neill: More to Arsenal than Van Persie

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill says there's more to Arsenal than Robin van Persie.

O'Neill knows his side will have to do more than stop Van Persie if they are to emerge with anything to show for their efforts.

He said: "That is too simplistic. They have enough talent in their team.

"They are playing Champions League football next week, which is a credit to them.

"They have qualified once again into the latter stages of the competition, so I am not so sure that one man could just carry that on his own.

"They have talent, they have a bit of pace in their team as well, and their victory last week will give them encouragement and confidence for the rest of the season."
