Arsenal's Andrey Arshavin admitted Arsene Wenger was "distraught" by their 4-4 draw with Newcastle.
In
quotes referenced by the Sun, the Russian revealed that the manager had
been too stunned to even speak after his side gave up a 4-0 lead to the
Toon.Arshavin said: "He didn't say anything at all to us.
"He was disappointed and distraught too, like any man would be in his shoes and under such circumstances.
"Naturally, we were all sad. Only Manchester United being defeated later that night sweetened the pill a bit.
"But we are not psychologically broken. We just cannot afford to be.
"If we want to win, we must not be sitting and moaning. We need to analyse that unfortunate match and draw the right conclusions from it.
"That day is over and left behind. We need to think and prepare for the next match in the Premier League against Wolves."
Arshavin said the result was "unbelievable".
He admitted: "What happened was something unbelievable with a tragic end for us.
"It was as if there was a magnet behind one of the goals because all eight were scored in it."
The Gunners made history by being the first side in the Barclays Premier League to ever give up the points after leading 4-0 at half-time.
