Arsenal's top-4 hopes suffer major blow with 3-0 Palace loss

Adjust Comment Print

Champions League qualification is the very best that Wenger can hope for from this season, but another tepid performance brought about a 3-0 reverse against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday night to leave them sixth in the table.

The London club were woeful throughout as 16th-placed Palace capitalised, with goals from Andros Townsend, Yohan Cabaye and a Luka Milivojevic penalty making the visitors pay.

"I think we won many second balls as well, but in the decisive duel I think they were stronger, especially Benteke tonight". "Every defeat is a big worry. You could feel that it had an impact on us after the second goal tonight", Wenger said. I've managed over 1,100 games for Arsenal and we're not used to that [kind of performance], so it's a big worry.

Arsenal great Ian Wright said the nature of Arsenal's latest capitulation showed the "dressing room is lost".

Fans also turned on the players during the game, chanting: "You're not fit to wear the shirt" as they offered little resistance against Palace.

Arsenal have never finished outside of the top four, or below rivals Spurs in Wenger's time at the club.

The England global claimed Sam Allardyce's men "wanted it more" and that "you could sense that from the kick-off", while also saying "that wasn't us tonight" after letting the fans down.

"At the moment, I pay more respect to the fact we had a disappointing result".

"It's damaging, of course" Wenger, who has led Arsenal to 20 successive top-four finishes, told Sky Sports.

Mamadou Sakho, a center back on loan from Liverpool, was excellent for Palace in reading the crosses into the box, coming out to block shots and delivering the kind of towering overall display that was beyond Arsenal's defenders. On that front of course, that is what is most hard for us.

"If we can perform like that in any of the last seven games, we can beat any team".
