Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger says the Gunners were stupid to let Andrew Redmayne go after witnessing a shot-stopping masterclass from their former triallist during their 2-0 win over Sydney FC.
A goal each from German defender Per Mertesacker and new signing Alexandre Lacazette gave the Gunners victory over the Sky Blues in front of 80,000 fans at ANZ Stadium on Thursday night.
PIC SPECIAL: Arsenal v Sydney FC
In their first match of their two game Australian tour, Arsenal rained down 34 shots on Sydney’s goal with Redmayne making 12 saves including stopping a penalty from England International Danny Wellbeck.
During the post-match press conference Wenger praised Redmayne’s performance and responding to queries about the Australian’s time with the Londoners in 2005, the Frenchman admitted the club made an error.
“It is such a long time that I've been with Arsenal that I do not remember all of the trialists but if he was with us we made a mistake,” said Wenger.
“Sydney were a tough opposition because they did fight for the ball and at the end of the day the goalkeeper was the man of the match tonight.”
