Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger feels they suffered this season due to injuries.

The Gunners have turned their season around in recent weeks.

After victory over Newcastle United, Wenger said: "If you look at our run from the Chelsea win until January you will see that our run was quite positive. But we had four full backs out in January and it is something that can work one game but it cannot work for five or six games.

"For that I believe we were punished but the quality was always there. Today we have 52 points with ten games to go and we have gone through a difficult period in January but recently we have won the games in the last minute whereas we lost the games in the last minute against Fulham and Manchester United."
