Van Persie leaves Wenger beaming

Arsene Wenger was once again left to find words of praise for star striker Robin van Persie after his two goals sealed a 2-1 win over Dortmund and ensured Arsenal's progress into the last-16 of the Champions League.
Van Persie headed home Alex Song's cross before adding a second on 86 minutes to take his tally to 33 goals in 30 games in 2011.
Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp described the 28-year-old's display as "simply unbelievable" and Wenger added: "He is in a period where he doesn't have to look for goals.
"They just come naturally for him, he is always in the right place at the right moment. He got two goals tonight from positions where it looks easy but that's only because he understands the game so well.
"At the moment Robin is an exceptional player. He takes advantage of our offensive style. At the moment he is the one who scores all the goals so we hope we can keep him fit and with us for a long time.
"Overall it was a good game. Dortmund are a good team. They started stronger than us but we were patient and intelligent."
