Arsenal run down to more than just Ospina influence - Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has refused to give goalkeeper David Ospina full credit for his side's good recent run.

Wenger was asked whether he agreed that a lot of what had gone well for the team since January had been down to the influence of the Colombian goalkeeper.

"No, I don't agree with you about that," Wenger replied. "We had many players back who were out in the first part of the championship - (Laurent) Koscielny, (Mesut) Özil, (Olivier) Giroud.

"They all came back and they came back into form as well in January. It's a mixture of many things and, as well, (Francis) Coquelin coming into the team and doing well."

Ospina has played a key role in winning 11 of the 12 Premier League games since the turn of the year with six clean sheets during that time.

It means he has a win percentage of 92. No other player in the history of the Premier League who has played more than 10 games has a higher percentage.
