Wojciech Szczesny: I was lucky not to be sent off


WOJCIECH SZCZESNY admits he was lucky not to see red for clattering Ashley Cole on the edge of his area.

The Polish keeper escaped with only a yellow card and later said on Twitter: "I don't know why I stayed on."
But on a day when both teams attacked like champions and defended like pub teams, Arsene Wenger still made a point of praising £8.5million centre-back Laurent Koscielny's display.
Arsenal boss Wenger said: "Koscielny is a top centre-back.
"He had only one season at the highest level in France, is now in his second year with us and will go from strength to strength.
"He was also top class against Stoke last week and has all you need to become a real defender.
"He is a bit less impressive in size because he is not 6ft 3in. But he is quick, sharp and reads the game really well."
