Arsene Wenger admitted Arsenal have been left to regret their recent results after a comfortable 2-0 home win over West Brom moved them up to third in the Premier League. The Gunners saw their title hopes fade after they failed to hold onto leads in back-to-back games against West Ham and Crystal Palace and had to settle for draws.While they returned to winning ways against West Brom thanks to Alexis Sanchezs first-half double, Wenger told Sky Sports: We have regrets. In recent games, we had two draws when we should have won the games several times, you pay for dropped points like that. Alan Smith and Jamie Redknapp discuss whether Arsenal still lack a clinical striker after missing opportunities against West Brom The quality of our game was as good tonight as it has been in recent games, but we did not always get maximum points for the quality of our performances.Some fans stayed away from the Emirates on Thursday to show their displeasure at the teams recent results, with a number of empty seats visible throughout the match. Aaron Ramsey felt that Arsenal deserved the three points against West Brom But the Gunners dominated almost from start to finish against the Baggies and the only frustration for Wenger was that they did not win by a greater margin.We did the job in a serious way, he said. Technically we played very well. Overall, the only regret was we should have scored more. Sanchez double secures win Alexis Sanchez sealed three points for Arsenal at the Emirates. You want your team to take every chance, but unfortunately it doesnt work always like that. You have to make the right decisions, sometimes you want to combine, sometimes you should shoot, its down to the players and thats down to fractions of seconds.The early goal helped to focus on the way we played, rather than being anxious about the result, it was important and helped the team. The win moves Arsenal four points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United ahead of a trip to relegation-threatened Sunderland on Sunday.It was very important for us to win. Now lets try to win the next one, said Wenger. That will be a tough battle, lets prepare well, we have a good chance but its far from done.

MADISON, Wis. -- The weakness in Ethan Happs otherwise solid offensive game is so obvious that the Wisconsin big man knows how defenders are going to play him.Just check out the sophomores stats from his Big Ten Freshman of the Year campaign: 12.9 points per game, 7.9 rebounds -- and no 3-pointers. Not even an attempt from behind the arc.That should change this season.If the 6-foot-10 Happ can add a solid jumper to his offensive arsenal , a deep Badgers team led by seniors Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig will be even tougher to stop. Wisconsin is already the preseason favorite in the Big Ten.I wouldnt say hes a prolific 3-point shooter but the confidence to be able to play on the perimeter is much higher than it was a year ago, coach Greg Gard said. In all, a very good step in the right direction.Hayes (15.7 points) and Koenig (13.1 points) are known commodities . They were key players on two Final Four teams. They took over as team leaders last year as juniors.Happ emerged in 2015-16 to give the Badgers their own version of a Big Three.Happ can run the floor. He can pass out of a double team. He can get excellent position in the post and spin away from defenders.But he never showed last year that he could hit a jumper.Asked if defenses would challenge him to shoot from the outside, Happ said If the roles were reversed, and there was a player who didnt shoot a 3 last year, I would do the same thing.In the offseason, Happ focused on shooting six days a week. He would shoot jumpers until he made at least 500 from the outside. On the seventh day, he used that time to focus on another workout or conditioning.My shot was kind of out here, Happ said, holding his hands slightly above and to the right of his head, as if about to shoot a free throw. Now Im kind of bringing it more to the center of my body.Other notes and story lines this season for Wisconsin:TAKING STANDSHayes and Koenig drew attention in the offseason for their high-profile stands on off-court issues. Koenig,, a Ho-Chunk Nation member, drove 11 hours to North Dakota last month to take part in a protest over the construction of an oil pipeline on the Standing Rock Indiana Reservation.dddddddddddd Hayes has been vocal about social justice issues. He also recently took a stand to publicize the issue of pay for college athletes.To hear them talk about it ... Im just proud how theyve been able to take their college experiences and to develop it into something way more than basketball, Gard said.Hayes declined to take questions at Wisconsin media day at the Kohl Center on Oct. 17, electing only to make a statement running down the strengths of the team before he had to leave to take a test.EXPERIENCEFew teams in the country are as seasoned as Wisconsin. Guard Zak Showalter (7.5 points) and forward Vitto Brown (9.7 points) join Hayes and Koenig to give the Badgers four seniors in the starting lineup with NCAA tourney experience. The Badgers return their top nine scorers.DEEP BENCHThe roster is getting deeper. Redshirt freshman Brevin Pritzl, thought to be the teams best outside shooter, is healthy again after missing his first year at Wisconsin with a foot injury. Andy Van Vliet, a 7-footer, adds needed size behind Happ. The Belgian missed last year after the NCAA ruled him ineligible for not enrolling in college within a year of high school graduation.ON GARDThe meticulous Gard enters his first full season as head coach after taking over in December following Bo Ryans surprise retirement. He has provided a steadying influence. Wisconsin had an 11-2 run to finish the regular season.STAT LINEThe Badgers have been to 18 straight NCAA tournaments. Theyre the only team to reach the regional semifinals in five of the last six years.---Online:AP College Basketball site: http://collegebasketball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
