Bayern edge Arsenal to reach Champions League semifinal
Arsenal's goalkeeper David Raya was also busy as he had to palm away Jamal Musiala's dangerous effort moments later.
As Arsenal FC gear up to host Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League match on Saturday, coach Arsene Wenger believes the home strength will decide where they finish at the end of the season.
“At home, we have been very strong and our home strength will certainly be vital to decide where we finish at the end of the season,” Wenger said as quoted by IANS.
The 68-year-old Frenchman claims that his team has the quality to give Tottenham a tough hand. “I think Tottenham is a good side but we have the quality to win this game and that is what we want to show,” he added.

Wenger said London derby fixtures are always important as the Premier League clubs put a lot of pride on the stake during these matches.
“There is always pride involved, a desire to beat your opponent. You need to have the full commitment, but as well be lucid enough and calm enough to focus on the game.”
“It is one of the fixtures of course that is very important for us and that you want to win. Basically as well, in the table, we have to make some ground up with the top teams,” Wenger added.
