Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits their top four hopes have taken a blow after another 0-0 draw with Fulham yesterday.

"Today's result doesn't help and this is a big blow to us, but it is difficult to assess," said Wenger, whose side head to relegation battlers West Brom on Tuesday night.

"However, problems don't last forever and at some stage we will score goals because we have quality and we continue to fight."

He added: "Our goalscoring record has dried out over more than five games.

"There are plenty of reasons - one of them is certainly psychological, but overall it's hard to assess what is tactical, what is technical and what is psychological.

"The more I speak about it, the more there is a problem.

"I don't think it's about us only trying to score the perfect goal - the perfect goal is only when the ball touches the net."
