Arsene Wenger was predictably unhappy about the physical nature of Blackburn's approach at Ewood Park, but he should know what to expect from them by now.
He said after the game:
"I felt there was a desire for violence more than commitment in some of the challenges. We were very resilient against a team that was over-physical. We dealt well with the problem we had.
"My team showed the correct attitude and we are frustrated because we should be going home with the three points. We did well and had some good chances to score a second goal here."
"Jens is really unhappy and really down in the dressing room. I do not need to tell him, though, he has made a mistake. We do not want to blame him. We want to keep the positives.
"While we conceded a bad goal overall we dealt well with set pieces and long balls.Blackburn is a difficult place to come and it is not a bad result for us."
Well, indeed blackburn was really violent but that's football... And poor jens.
