Wenger: We were the better side

Arsène Wenger says he found defeat to Chelsea today hard to take, as he feels Arsenal were the better side on the day.

Chelsea scored two early goals to win the game 2-0 and open up a 9-point gap between themselves and their visitors.

The Arsenal manager credited Chelsea's defensive display, but feels his side deserved to take something from the game.

The boss told Sky: "It is difficult to swallow a defeat like that when we felt we were the better team.

"Chelsea defended well until the last minute so you have got to give them credit."

The Frenchman added that he still feels his side could capitalise on dropped points from their rivals.

On the title race, Wenger said: "We are outsiders but we will fight until the last day of the season.

"I believe everyone can drop points. Let's come back to win our next game first and then see where we stand."

Next up for Arsenal is a home game against Liverpool this Wednesday.
