Arsene Wenger’s title hopes were on Saturday thrown into deep abyss following Arsenal’s 1-0 loss against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium.
Stoke City delivered a hammer blow to the Gunners’ title aspirations through a 76th minute Jon Walters spot-kick, but Wenger insists that there was nothing his defender could have done to avoid that hand-ball.
“It was a nice gift from the referee,” he said.”Koscielny is one yard away.He has no time.How can he take his hand away? He has no chance.”
“It is a big worry not to win a game like that,” he said.”It’s a massive setback.
“We didn’t produce the performance that we wanted.To win the title, you have to perform when you’re expected to.
“It was a good defensive performance and overall I think we were unlucky to lose this game.Offensively we didn’t create enough.Our offensive game was poor considering our standards.At the end of day we didn’t score.

“I don’t assess our title chances at all.We just have to play well in the next fixture.
The Northern Londoners now three points off the top of Premier League after Chelsea’s win at Fulham, with 10 games to play.
