Read our privacy policy Defiant Arsene Wenger insists his young Arsenal side have the fight needed to force themselves back into the Barclays Premier League title race - and maintained all was not lost despite a crushing 3-0 home defeat by leaders Chelsea. The Gunners, still back in fourth spot, were made to pay when Didier Drogba converted Ashley Cole's low centre, and Thomas Vermaelen's own-goal effectively killed off the contest before the interval, with the Ivory Coast striker drilling in a late free-kick. "The turning point was the referee's decision," said Wenger, who used the incident to again highlight the need for instant television replays to help match officials. "I would rather have all of our players back," said Wenger, also without Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner for another couple of weeks.
