A night of logic-defying drama saw the Gunners reach the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup in one of the most astonishing matches this country has seen. Arsenal’s 7-5 victory against Reading was on Wednesday hailed as the greatest comeback in League Cup history, after the Gunners overturned a 4-0 deficit to secure a place in the quarter-final draw.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was also full of praise for his side and assessed that the victory was one of the best of his long career.

“We went from disaster to saving our pride,” Wenger said. “The fans stayed behind the team throughout and I have to give them credit. It was difficult to be worse in the second half than we were in the first.

“Maybe this is one of my greatest victories. You cannot play for Arsenal and give up, no matter what the score.

“This (tournament) is not one of our priorities but if we had gone out the way we played in the first half, it would not have been one of my proudest moments as well.

“But this was like a tennis game. It’s important to win and to be in the hat for the quarter-final.”

Arsenal head to Manchester United on Saturday, when they will return to the scene of one their most embarrassing scorelines in recent memory.

I think the Arsenal team just went to show that saying never should never be an option. And believe me when i tell you Arsenal season drought will come to an end this Season !  WE WILL WIN A TROPHY !
