Wenger: It's how you finish
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insisted that his side must become more clinical in front of goal if they are to win the title.
Wenger watched his side dominate for long periods before a 40th minute goal from Didier Drogba, his 13th in 11 starts against the Gunners, and an impressive 30-yard free-kick from defender Alex condemned them to their second successive defeat.
Arsenal have now taken just one point from their last nine and Wenger admitted that unless they can produce some clinical finishing in front of goal, then they will struggle to lift the title.
"We have to be more clinical to win Championships," said Wenger. "We cannot lose a game like that. Their strikers were more clinical than ours and that made the difference. Apart from that, Chelsea were on the ropes for long periods in the game.
"We had the chances but we need to score. I feel sorry for my team because they had an outstanding attitude.
"I feel sorry they were not rewarded but when you don't take your chances you don't win big games."
