Emmanuel Eboue admits to there being a low mood in the Arsenal camp following another bad result.

The Gunners took the lead, but lost 2-1 to Blackburn on Monday, their third defeat in four Premiership games in what has been a terrible end to the season.

Eboue feels the team were unlucky to lose, and feels the referee could have done better to help Arsenal's goalkeeper Fabiansi, who appeared to be fouled on the second goal.

Speaking to Arsenal TV Online, Eboue said: "We tried to play our game and score quickly. Robin did that, but after that it was so hard for us, because Blackburn's players play really hard.

"For me, the second goal was a foul. The referee saw it, but didn't do anything. That's football, sometimes the referees make some mistakes, but you have to try to forget that."

The Ivorian added that with the amount of injuries to members of the first team, some of Arsenal's squad players are feeling a little jaded as the season comes to a close.

He said: "We don't feel well. We're trying to win every game, but it's not easy. Every player is feeling a bit tired. It's difficult because we have too many injured players."

Arsenal need at least a point on the final day against Fulham to keep hold of third place, but Eboue knows that only a win would be enough to send the fans away happy.

"We know we have to win this game [against Fulham]. We want to make the fans happy."
