Wenger: 'It's difficult to deal with the consequences of this defeat'

"It's difficult to deal with all the consequences of this defeat. I agree that there is a big distance now, but it's never over and we will fight until the last second of the season."

"It's made more difficult for us these last two games in that we have played after everybody else. We played at 5.15pm against Watford on Boxing Day and we've played at 5.15pm again tonight. I don't agree with that."

"We gave absolutely everything until the last second. It was a very physical game in which we had early chances, but we didn't take them, whereas they took advantage of our first mistake."
