Arsene Wenger admitted Arsenal cannot afford to lose Robin van Persie after watching the Dutchman's heroics earn a 2-1 win at Liverpool on Saturday lunchtime.
Van Persie scored twice, including a late winner to take his tally for the season to 35 in all competitions for club and country, as the Gunners battled back from going behind to Laurent Koscielny's own goal.
The victory put Arsenal within four points of third-placed Tottenham and as good as ended Liverpool's top-four hopes in the Premier League.
And after the match, Wenger confessed the Gunners would miss inspirational striker and captain Van Persie, whose contract is set to expire at the end of next season and he has been linked with Real Madrid.
"In the second half, I thought if it stayed 1-1 until the last 10 minutes, you never know, we have the quality to create chances," Wenger told Sky Sports 2 HD.
"In the second half, we had chances, the problem was the first half when we were not in the game.
Special
"We were fortunate it was 1-0 at half-time, because we could have been two or three down.
"But when you see the ball landing at the feet of Van Persie, you know he can deliver a special goal. He did that today.
"You can never afford to lose a player of that quality. In every game he comes up with something special."
Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny made a magnificent double save from Dirk Kuyt's penalty when the score was 0-0 and Wenger was full of praise for the Pole's display.
"There were two men of the match today, Wojciech Szczesny and Van Persie," he said.
Wenger added: "It (the win) keeps the confidence high and we are on a good run now. It puts us in good condition to make the impossible possible on Tuesday night (against AC Milan in the Champions League)."

Six strikers? But we only have one!Quote:
The bad news of the day is that Diaby is injured and did his hamstring. Benayoun has a small hamstring problem, Gibbs has a problem. We look decimated after the game. I don't know who will be available on Tuesday night. Maybe I will play with six strikers as we have to score goals!
WUMger :bow:.
Diaby. :haha:
Can't we just give him robotic legs instead?
So the club fuck Diaby over again. How long did he last? 20 minutes?
It's alright. We'll feel guilty and offer him a new contract.
Wengers commentsQuote:
on what the victory means…
It was vital for us to win the game. Liverpool had a very good first half and we were not in the game - what was flattering for us was to be 1-1 at half time. The second half was much more level. We had some good chances as well, they had maybe one from Martin Kelly. But they had no clear-cut chances in the second half. They had to win the game, and we know that we have Van Persie who can deliver something special. Overall it was not one of our best games, but we refused to give in and we played as well as we could. Our goalkeeper and centre forward made the difference.
on playing better in the second half…
I don't know why. It is down to the quality of Liverpool [in the first half] and everybody was away the whole week [on international duty]. Song came back on Friday morning, Gervinho and Benayoun as well. Liverpool played with a rhythm and pace above us in the first half and our fluency was not there at all, we gave them too much room. But as long as you are not killed off in the Premier League, you always have a chance as every team has quality strikers to score goals.
on Wojciech Szczesny's performance…
It is good that he had a performance like that, because he had a little bit of a difficult period in January. He has shown his potential and I like that he was brave as well. He had a lot of kicking to do and a lot of coming out to do, and he didn't make a mistake. At 21 years old he is a great talent, he is learning his job but because he is a great talent, he learns quickly.
on Robin van Persie's value…
I must say we will do anything to keep him. I cannot say much more because I have said that many times. I am very proud that he has grown after having seen him arriving here timid, and today being the player and leader he has become. He is playing under big pressure in every game because he knows he has to score. He has shown exceptional development, not only as a player but as a human being. He is up there with the best players in the world.
on Mikel Arteta's injury…
As I sit here now, he is in hospital at the moment and we have no news.
on Abou Diaby…
The bad news of the day is that Diaby is injured and did his hamstring. Benayoun has a small hamstring problem, Gibbs has a problem. We look decimated after the game. I don't know who will be available on Tuesday night. Maybe I will play with six strikers as we have to score goals!
on Liverpool's penalty…
I wasn't happy but then I have been told it was a penalty on television. I haven't seen it yet. [The follow-up save from Kuyt's penalty] was the save of the game from Wojciech.
on trying to catch Tottenham…
I always said the target this season was to be in the top four. Mathematically it is possible, but let's go step by step and see what happens. When you see that Liverpool - who I believe are a very, very good team - are seventh in the league, it shows how difficult it is in this league, how big the battle is for the top four and how each game can change very quickly.

Have to say i have been pleased with how RVP has been this season. When he 1st got the armband i thought he'er we go again, another captain who won't be fully fit this season but he has proved us all wrong and we need to keep him at all cost.
Wenger comments were spot on and good to hear for once. Lads done us proud even if is too late.
Arteta
Diaby
Djourou
Ramsey
Squillaci
Coquelin
Mertesacker
Frimpong
Santos
Wilshere
Benayoun
Gibbs
They could all stay injured for the rest of the season if it meant RVP stayed fit and stayed on form tbh.
:pray:
thought diaby looked good today in his cameo, his run and shot was brilliant, just drifts past players like they are not there. wish he could stay fit as he could be very very good
I wouldn't 1-2 be a Liverpool fan.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!
WHEN THE FUCK IS WILSHERE BACK?!!??!?!?!?!?
For the sake of fuck.
