Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has labelled the display of William Gallas in last night's Champions League victory over Dynamo Kiev as 'completely committed'.

Gallas returned to the starting line-up after being stripped of the club's captaincy and axed from Wenger's team for Saturday's Premier League defeat at Manchester City.

Wenger's move followed Gallas' decision to criticised his team-mates, but the Arsenal boss reinstated the former Chelsea player on Tuesday and was delighted with the 31-year-old's performance.

"I believe his focus was great," he said.

"He wanted to do well and you could see he was completely committed in the game. Overall, I feel he did well."
