The Gunners were 1-0 up through Denilson's free-kick when Almunia kept out Geovanni's spot-kick. The keeper denied it was the key moment of the match, telling ESPN: "I was confident we would score more goals.
"I was lucky today and I had the luck to save a penalty and help my team. Maybe it wasn't the best penalty for him (Geovanni) but I admire him a lot. He's a great player. It's an important win for us: three points despite not playing well.''
Eduardo and Abou Diaby scored goals after Almunia's save and the France midfielder said: "The first half it was a bit slow. We know that when we move the ball and we move well we can be very dangerous and we showed that tonight. Tonight is a good result.''
Boss Arsene Wenger admitted his side had not been at their best. "Not for 90 mins but I knew today it was a difficult game because we had two physical games against Liverpool and Burnley,'' said Wenger.
