"Arsenal can still finish in the top four" - Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal can still finish in the top four but admits it will be extremely difficult.

His Gunners now sit fifth in the Premier League, five points behind Chelsea and seven below Spurs.

Wenger said: “Can we finish in the top four? It’s possible. We will fight for it. That is for sure.”

But the Frenchman concedes his team will have to defend better than they did at White Hart Lane. He said: “We lost a game where we were on top. But we were not efficient in the zones where it matters, at the front and the back.

“We lacked caution on both goals, put no pressure on the ball and didn’t cover. It’s very frustrating because we had the best defence away from home in the league before today.

“When you go into a big game like that, once you are 2-0 down you make it difficult for yourself.”
