Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger felt his side were very unlucky to crash to a 2-0 Premier League defeat at Chelsea on Sunday.

Goals from Didier Drogba and Alex secured all three points for the reigning champions, but Wenger was adamant his side produced enough chances to claim a positive result.

"The team fought outstandingly well and showed some great qualities," he told Sky Sports.

"We have to take the positives from that massive disappointment. We care about winning our games but you have to take a little bit of distance with the result as well.

"I believe we showed outstanding quality and we have to keep battling and fighting and get our influential players back. We have an outstanding team.

"Having watched the game as objectively as I can, I believe we can have big regrets for having lost it.

"The game should have been over before it started. We had two chances in the first minute, one very easy.

"We had chance after chance and never put the ball in the back of the net."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
