The 29-year-old struck just moments after Kieran Gibbs had drawn the Gunners level against their Belgain opponents, with the 2-1 win all but ensuring the club’s progress to the knockout round of the Champions League.
Wenger, who celebrated his 65th birthday on Wednesday, way quoted in the Daily Mirror saying: “We know Poldolski can always score. He is frustrated and I understand that of course.
“But he’s important as well and he showed that tonight and he will be important in the coming months. It took him a while to get back to a good physical level [after the World Cup] and now he’s nearly there.
“He was never close to leaving in the summer. He has 115 caps for Germany that is not a coincidence, that shows you the quality.
“I think he is a guy you want to have the ball in the box. His shot is fantastic, his accuracy is great and he has very short back lift. He nearly scored before and I know when he comes on he can score.”
