We deserved to win says Al Habsi
Wigan Omani goalkeeper, Ali Al Habsi believes that the Latics deserved to take maximum points against Arsenal in the Christmas game. "It was a fantastic point for us," he told the club's official website. "But to be honest we deserved more than that because for the first half we controlled the game and had more chances than them. "To play with ten men against Arsenal is always difficult but I think the lads did well to concentrate and eventually get the goal. "We had the same desire as last year and to be honest, although we could possibly have got more from the game, we are not too disappointed as it was an important point for us." The goalkeeper is now targetting the game with Newcastle on the 2nd January as the Latics look to push themselves further away from the bottom three. "We need to take these performances against Stoke, Everton, Wolves and now Arsenal into the game against Newcastle," he said. "It's going to be a huge game on Sunday and we have to win to get us up the table. We have to enjoy ourselves and enjoy our football to continue moving away from the relegation zone."
