Gunners boss finds defeat hard to take

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger conceded his side were now "outsiders" for the title after losing 2-0 to Chelsea. Two goals from Didier Drogba gave Chelsea the victory to help them move nine points clear of the Gunners. Wenger has refused to rule his team out of the title race and is optimistic Arsenal's rivals will drop further points before the end of the season. "It is difficult to swallow a defeat like that when we felt we were the better team," Wenger told. "Chelsea defended well until the last minute so you have got to give them credit." Asked about Arsenal's title chances, Wenger said: "We are outsiders but we will fight until the last day of the season. "I believe everyone can drop points. Let's come back to win our next game first and then see where we stand."
