Arsene Wenger hails his Arsenal team but makes Leicester favourites for Premier League

ARSENE WENGER was pleased with his Arsenal team after they bounced back from four games without a win with a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth.

 

Arsene Wenger was happy with the result

 

The Gunners closed the gap to leaders Leicester and level with neighbours Spurs thanks to goals from Mesut Ozil and Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain.

The Foxes come to the Emirates next Sunday for a top of the table lunchtime showdown.

And Wenger has made Claudio Ranieri's side favourites for the title with 13 games left in the season.

 

He told BBC Sport: "We had a strong start, with good finishing and we controlled the game. We beat a good side, it was three difficult points but three very important points for us because we had not won for a while.

"We lost a bit of our urgency in the second half. We lost the killer instinct to get the third goal and on top of that Bournemouth are physically a strong team.

"It was a must-win game for us today. Leicester have made a big impression in the last week after their results. They suddenly become the favourite in the Premier League and it makes our game a big game."
