Gunners boss Wenger, who stripped William Gallas of the
captaincy at Eastlands, claimed the scoreline "flattered" City.
Hughes told the BBC: "Maybe he is being a little bit ungracious
because I remember Robinho going around (Manuel) Almunia to make it
even more emphatic.
"We had another couple of good opportunities, so I do not think
the scoreline flattered us at all. We created six or seven
chances."
Gallas did not travel with the squad after making critical
remarks about the team in midweek when he questioned their fighting
spirit.
While Wenger confirmed the French defender still had a future at
the club he refused to discuss the reasons behind his absence.
"I will not speak about William Gallas in a post-match
interview, " said Wenger. He is a player who did not play today, so
what can he do? Nothing.
