Wenger: 'We should have won by five goals'

"It should be three points - if you could get six it should have been six. It feels like a defeat.

"We should have had more goals but there were positives in the team, outstanding spirit to come from a goal down after the week we had. They showed spirit, a determined attitude and quality."

"They are remarkable players with remarkable spirit and quality," Wenger said. "I'm sure that will come out next year. We will not change the team, it will remain what it is at the moment and we get injured players back. We want to keep the core of the team and the spirit of the team.

"The needed quality is there. Sometimes it is intelligent not to try too much to improve."

"It's more frustrating losing a goal so close to the end, that's a little bit of the story of the season so far - outstanding football and create chances then in a number of big competitions we've lost in the last minute."

"We should have won by five goals. We didn't see Spurs creating many chances today but they scored two goals. It's the story of the season. Fantastic spirit but we have to learn to make the most of our chances. We hit the post three times and I think we should have scored at least five times."
