Yes, it was a big win. No, Arsenal was not expected to beat AC Milan 2-0 at San Siro in the Europa League.
Yes, it saved the club from losing five matches in succession for the first time in 41 years. But no, one good performance against the seventh-best team in Serie A does not suddenly make Arsenal a decent side or Arsene Wenger a manager who should complete the final year of his contract.
"At some stage you need to respond and to respond together with a good performance," said Wenger. "That's what we wanted." But Arsenal fans know the corner has not been turned; in fact the steering wheel has barely moved.
