Wasteful Gunners upset Arsene
-
Arsene Wenger could not contain his disappointment at Arsenal crashing out of the FA Cup to Blackburn thanks to Benni McCarthy's late strike.
The pair were evenly matched at Ewood Park with the visitors having the better of the opportunities, although they were wasteful in front of goal.
Rovers made them pay with substitute McCarthy lashing home late on, a goal Wenger believes was harsh on his side.
"We were never under pressure and we had the chances to score goals and we didn't do it," he told Sky Sports.
"Then of course we made a fatal mistake and McCarthy scored a great goal.
"Overall it's difficult to take, because I don't believe over the two games, if you looked at what Blackburn created, it's difficult to go out.
"Football is a job where you need to be ruthless. I believe we were a bit unlucky with some decisions over the two games.
"I felt Freddie Ljungberg was in front (of Emerton). I'd need to see it again on the tape, from out front it looked a clear penalty. He's adamant.
"We can not do anything about that. We could have scored despite that. When you don't score and they score with four minutes to go it's difficult." -
