Wenger: 'We showed personality and mental strength'

Last updated : 19 October 2008 By Chris Parry

"We showed personality and mental strength - and that will be important for the rest of the season. I was not nervous at half-time because I had confidence and belief we would change the game.

"Everton had a good start, but in the last 20 minutes of the first half we were on top.

"Theo came on and did very well, he had impact in the game, but the whole team played very well and it was a good test for the team today."

"We played our season today. We could not afford to drop points and the way we responded was vital."
