Arsene Wenger has “got his trousers back on again”, says former defender Martin Keown, with Arsenal offering the perfect response to their critics against AC Milan.
The Gunners, and their under-fire manager in particular, had faced plenty of uncomfortable questions on the back of four successive defeats which threatened to undermine their season.
With the Carabao Cup surrendered in timid fashion against Manchester City, the FA Cup exited at the hands of Nottingham Forest and costly defeats in the Premier League leading to an admission of defeat in a top-four battle, the Europa League is all Arsenal have left.
