The Pole, in for the injured Manuel Almunia, saved a second-half penalty to help Arsenal record a second win in the group. "It's been hard for our 'keepers at the moment and that was a great reponse from him," Wilshere said on Sky Sports 4. "He made a good save at the end as well. Fair play to him." A power failure had earlier forced Arsenal to change for the game in the dark. "We had to use phone torches," said Wilshere. The youngster added: "We were confident, we came here to get a win and that's what happened. "We came here and we knew it was going to be a hard atmosphere, we dealt with it well and got the result." Wenger was also pleased with Fabianski's performance. "We have seen the Lukasz I see everyday," he said on Sky Sports 4. "I believe it's a good encouragement for him. He had a good game. It's important he had a good game, he has a lot of talent." Wenger would not be drawn on whether he would keep his place for next weekend's Premier League clash with Chelsea, but revealed Cesc Fabregas could return from injury. "Cesc Fabregas has a little, little chance," he said.
