Arsene Wenger: 'It will be difficult to finish top four'

Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger has admitted that it will be "difficult" for his team to finish inside the top four due to their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

"The first goal was key and we conceded it," Wenger told reporters after the match. "I have seen the replay and it is no foul, just good centre-forward play. We can only look at ourselves. "In the first half we missed three or four opportunities on the counter attack which is difficult to swallow, always the final ball. We contained them to very little. "Once they scored you could see we were wobbling and they could have scored more but in the last 10 minutes we should have come back to 1-1. It will be more difficult to finish in the top four but we have to fight for it. "
