Van Persie had a gilt edged chance to score a fourth goal in the second half but Christian Abbiati rose to claw the ball away from goal.
“The one you would want the chance to go to is Van Persie. But he wanted to chip the keeper. You have to give credit to Abbiati, he came up so quickly, it was a fraction.
“Players have to make decisions so quickly. If he scores it’s great, but credit to the keeper,” added Wenger.
