Any lingering hopes of silverware were extinguished after defeat at leaders Manchester United last Sunday, when the champions came back from 1-0 down to win with a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty and a superb free-kick from Owen Hargreaves.

"It [defeat at Old Trafford] will never go out of my system, but we want to focus forwards and what is in front of us," said the Arsenal manager. "Now is a good opportunity for us to show mental strength and to finish as well as we can, as high as we can because second place is still possible."

He added: "Overall I believe we have made big progress this season. We were very close to the two trophies which really matter to us and we want to go into the next season feeling we have moved forward."

Wenger added on Arsenal TV: "I believe we will benefit from all which we have learned this year and will come back even stronger."
