Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was pleased with Carlos Vela who started for the Gunners on Tuesday against Standard Liege.

The game, which was the first regular start for the Mexican this season, saw the Gunners winning and qualifying for the next stage of the Champions League.

On the youngster, Wenger said:

Carlos needs games and I thought I had an opportunity tonight to give him a game and I believe he did like the team – very well in the first half before dropping a little bit in the second half.

I was pleased with his movement off the ball and his combination play with his partners in the team.
