Wenger predicts Arsenal victory
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said his team are feeling confident ahead of their crucial Champions League group clash against Hamburg.
A win for the Gunners would boost their chances of reaching the knockout stages of the competition.
\"I think we are under serious pressure to deliver and I think we will. We know what we have to do,\" said Wenger.
\"In the Bundesliga, Hamburg have not a lot of confidence - but in many games they should have got something.\"
The Frenchman is hoping Arsenal find their ruthless streak in front goal: \"We create a lot of chances and we want to convert our chances - but it is not because you want to do it that you necessarily do it.
\"I feel you have to play relaxed and focused, and after the rest usually comes along.
\"However, we know that we have to be more dynamic than we were against Newcastle in the first half because that was not our usual way and not how we want to play football.\"
Wenger's side only managed a 1-1 draw against struggling Newcastle on Saturday, to leave his side 12 points adrift of Premiership leaders Manchester United.
But the Gunners boss believes his side are still in with a shout of winning the league.
\"I really want to win the Premiership and the Champions League,\" he added.
\"Every time we don't win a game it hurts me so much, whether it's a league game or a Champions League game. It hurts exactly the same.\"
Arsenal 3-1 Hamburg
Emmanuel Eboue and Julio Baptista scored in the last seven minutes as Arsenal fought back from a goal down to top Champions League Group G.
Rafael van der Vaart's spectacular shot gave Hamburg a shock early lead.
But Robin van Persie's cool finish from a fine first-time Cesc Fabregas pass drew the Gunners level after the break.
Alexander Hleb and Fabregas both saw shots crash off the crossbar but Eboue put Arsenal ahead from a tight angle and Baptista's late header sealed it.
The Germans should have been cannon fodder for the Gunners, having already been knocked out of Europe with a record of played four lost four in this year's Champions League.
But within four minutes, Van der Vaart's sublime strike changed the thinking at the Emirates.
The Dutchman dummied two defenders and crashed a superb 25-yard right-foot strike past a bewildered Jens Lehmann and in off the underside of the bar.
Arsenal's hopes of a comfortable evening were in tatters but they refused to panic and were soon dominating possession and looking dangerous - although clearcut chances were at a premium.
Full-backs Eboue and Gael Clichy seemed the most likely source of a goal, enjoying plenty of the ball in attacking areas.
But the massed ranks of visiting defenders held firm and could have snatched a second on the break when Mehdi Mahdavikia saw his shot deflected over by Phillipe Senderos.
The Gunners' best chance of the half saw Hleb skip past a couple of defenders, swap passes with Fabregas, skip inside another attempted tackle and smash his shot off the bar from 12 yards.
The impressive Van Persie then sent a stinging free-kick fractionally over the bar with keeper Stefan Wachter beaten.
Thierry Henry went equally close soon after the restart from another free-kick, his delightfully-flighted effort going agonisingly wide.
But the home fans had something to cheer when Van Persie coolly pulled the Gunners level on 52 minutes.
Hleb found Fabregas, the Spaniard slid the ball into Van Persie on the right flank and Van Persie duly drew the keeper and slid the ball into the gap at the near post.
It was then a matter of when and not if Arsenal would take the lead.
Henry, who picked up his third booking and misses the final game in Porto next month, saw a half-volley easily saved by Wachter and Fabregas' 30-yard shot came back off the bar.
But Arsene Wenger's men were not to be denied and the late introduction of Theo Walcott proved a masterstroke.
The England man found Eboue whose fierce near-post shot squirmed through Wachter.
And moments later Walcott's inviting cross was gleefully headed home by substitute Baptista.
The Gunners now head to Porto in the final Group G game in two weeks knowing a draw will be enough to take them through.
