Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger revealed he was upset with the media for only focusing on his “we were a better team” words after the Stamford Bridge defeat of last Sunday.

Speaking on Monday, the Frenchman declared he was “full of compliments and praise” for Carlo Ancelotti’s side who defeated the Gunners by two goals to nil.

Wenger said:

I just would like to say that I was full of compliments and praise for Chelsea after the game and I find completely unfair from the press that you take one word of my press conference to turn it into a kind of probe every time.

You did that at Villa, you did that at Chelsea and every time if you look at the intent of my press conference it was positive towards the opponent.

I am long enough in England to know that the team who wins can say what they want. They are right.

But it is my job to take a distance from that, analyse the game in a calm way with a cold head and to analyse what is right.
