Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce was convinced his side beat Arsenal fair and square on Monday night.

The Lancashire club came from behind to defeat the Gunners 2-1 at Ewood Park and after the match, Arsenal's Arsene Wenger was critical of the opposition for trying to constantly foul his players.

But Allardyce was of firm belief that his Rovers did nothing wrong and simply exposed the North Londoners' weaknesses.

"If you expose the opposition's weaknesses enough then in the end those weaknesses will be exposed," he said.

"The amount of balls we put into the box on the keeper, who has obviously been a weak link for them, paid off.

"We beat Arsenal fair and square. The referee gave some that were fouls, he gave some that weren't fouls and he didn't give some that might have been fouls.

"You can't give everything as a foul on the goalkeeper and he certainly gave his fair share.

"You can argue all you want about those two particular incidents but we could argue Morten Gamst Pedersen should have had a penalty when he got brought down in the second half.

"I'm not overly concerned about what Arsene says - he's said it before about my tactics.

"But we know these tactics work against Arsenal and they've worked again today."
