Sagna: Celtic cruise underlines Arsenal's hunger for silverware success

19 August 2009 16:10
Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna believes their impressive conquering of two difficult early-season challenges proves their desire to win trophies. The Gunners followed up their thumping 6-1 Barclays Premier League triumph against Everton with a 2-0 Champions League play-off win against Celtic on Tuesday. Although Arsenal benefited from two fortunate goals, they then became the first English team to secure an away European win over Celtic since Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest in 1983. Only Barcelona and Dinamo Moscow had beaten Celtic at Parkhead in the Glasgow club's previous 36 European home matches but Wenger's side enjoyed a comfortable second half as they stood up well to the physical test and restricted Celtic to very few chances.
