Bendtner: We move on

by Finbar Brady , 10 March 2010

Arsenal hero Nicklas Bendtner says that just as he did not dwell on his succession of missed chances in the weekend game with Burnley, nor will he bask in the glory of his Champions League hat-trick against Porto.


The Dane says he takes every game as it comes and is now focusing on helping the Gunners progress further in Europe.

"Every time I play a game I put it behind me as soon as it's finished," he said. "Sometimes it's one of those days and today I put it right.

"I'm happy with my hat-trick but tomorrow we move on."

The striker says that a first Champions League win for the North London outfit is now an achievable target.

"It will give us a lot of confidence," he added. "We want to win the Champions League. It's something we haven't done. We scored all our chances which is very positive."

Meanwhile, team manager Arsene Wenger was careful not to overdo the praise on the 6'4" hitman, instead taking an opportunity to remind him to keep striving to improve.

"I hope it will not give him too much confidence," he said. "It's good for him. He played well on Saturday but missed chances.

"Today he had less chances and scored more goals. I hope it gives him the desire to work even harder."
