Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has told BBC Sport that the outcome of Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace, in a game his side completely dominated and even scored first, is “hard to accept”.
Speaking after the Premier League game played at the Emirates, the Arsenal boss said: “It is very difficult, we had a lot of possession but did not make enough of it.
“We lacked a change of pace, sharpness, they defended well. We put a lot of effort in but came out with a frustrating result. It is hard to accept, the competition goes on and we focus on the next one.
“I don’t know how it works mathematically but we are too disappointed to think about the league, we have to think about the Champions League and fight to be in the Champions League.
“We have another home game on Thursday night and had to prepare for that.
“On their goal, it did not look unstoppable, maybe the shot surprised him, but we maybe should have stopped the shot. It is difficult to blame individuals.”
The dropped points means that the Gunners remain in fourth spot on the table, behind Manchester City, Spurs and leaders Leicester City.
