Wenger not concerned with Arsenal's lack of spirit

Arsene Wenger says he isn't concerned with Arsenal's 'spirit' after the 2-1 loss to Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Gunners blew a one-goal lead to the hosts, who scored twice in four minutes.

But Wenger denies there his players have a damaged spirit and instead attributed the loss to defensive mistakes.

"I am not concerned about the spirit," said Wenger."I am concerned about the fact that when it matters we are not dangerous enough, we are not sound enough at the back.

"Where it matters is in your box and where it matters is in the final third, offensively we didn't look dangerous enough today."
