Wenger grounded, Kean upset

Arsene Wenger refused to get carried away with Arsenal's 7-1 thrashing of 10-man Blackburn at Emirates Stadium.


Robin van Persie fired a hat-trick and England youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain grabbed a brace, adding to goals from Mikel Arteta and Thierry Henry as the Gunners ran riot.

Wenger, though, wants to keep things in perspective.

"I do not give much importance to the seven goals, it is just we won and played well," said the Arsenal manager.

"I felt that recently we had quite good performances but did not get the results. Today we got the performance and the result, which is ideally what you want."

Blackburn boss Steve Kean found no positives from the result.

Morten Gamst Pedersen had brought them level in the first half but Gael Givet's red card made Rovers' task impossible.

"This was the first time we really got turned over, so we will have to analyse it and respond," Kean said.

"I could shout at the players in the dressing room, throw tea-cups at them, but the hard work starts again preparing for the next game.

"The players know they have let themselves down and we will be looking to get back to work as soon as possible."
