Wenger shocked at manner of Arsenal defeat

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was bemused after watching the Gunners throw away a 2-0 lead and lose 3-2 at home to Tottenham. "If you look at the stats and the numbers, it is very difficult to understand how we lost this game - a drop in concentration, some basic errors, some back luck as well," lamented the Frenchman.

"You are a bit speechless to re-analyse the game. It is a mystery how you can lose a game like that. If you look at the clear-cut chances that Tottenham had today, it is difficult to understand how we can concede three goals, but we lost it and we can only look at ourselves.

"We could not maintain the focus nor the urgency for 90 minutes because some players dropped. I believe that overall we delivered a performance expected in a game like that quality-wise. However, it was a mixture of fatigue in the second half, and also a lack of cautiousness."
