Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger felt his players overcame a huge mental test in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City.

The Gunners came from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1 in extra-time at Wembley to book their spot in the May final against Chelsea.

"I felt that we had a strong response today," said Wenger.

"We had a little bit of a cautious start, hesitant sometimes but we didn't give chances away and we grew into the game. Slowly, we became better and better and in the second half I felt we were very strong, in extra-time very strong, we always looked solid and dangerous.

"We played more in the second half and I felt as well it was a big test for us today - it was a mental test because many people questioned 'Can we turn up in an occasion like that?'

"That's why I am very proud for the players, because they showed they are united and determined."

Sergio Aguero scored first for City on 62 minutes before a Nacho Montreal volley in the 71st minus and Alexis Sanchez finish from close range in the first half of extra-time won it for Arsenal.
