Arsene Wenger has said that Arsenal's win over Wigan Athletic this lunchtime will give the team a boost in confidence.
Mikel Arteta scored a penalty in the second half to give the Gunners a 1-0 victory, which moves them up to third in the Premier League table.
The Arsenal manager told Sky Sports News: "It was a difficult game but that will give us belief and confidence. They went for us and it's a good result.
"They stopped us from playing. We weren't as fluent and sharp as Monday. They had great desire.
"They are in the wrong position in the table. They have a very good midfield and their full-backs did very well."
The loss leaves Wigan in the relegation zone.
