Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has expressed his pride in his players after they beat Liverpool 2-1 in the FA Cup.

The Gunners went ahead with goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski. Steven Gerrard pulled one back for the Reds, but the Gunners held on for a morale-boosting win.

Speaking to reporters, Wenger revealed that he was happy with the response to the recent 5-1 demolition at Anfield.

"The intensity of the performance pleased me, I am very proud of the way we responded to the huge defeat that we had [at Anfield] last week," the Frenchman told BBC Sport.

Arsenal are up against Everton in the quarter-finals of the competition.
