Unai Emery after missing the opportunity to secure third place stated that the situation is still under control.
On Sunday, London's Arsenal fell away against Liverpool's Everton. With almost no chances created in attack, Arsenal had to accept defeat after Phil Jagielka's precise strike.
Arsenal dropped to fourth place after the loss. Chelsea will have the chance to surpass the "Gunners" in the evening, but Arsenal will have matches in reserve.
"We knew it would be difficult and that we had to take advantage of the opportunity, like today," - said U. Emery after the match.
"Nevertheless, we did not take advantage of the great opportunity to add three more points to our tally. I have no doubt that in the next matches we will have more chances. Everything depends on us and also on other teams.
Playing 38 matches per season must be consistent, but we lacked that today. We must improve if we want to win future matches.
We evaluate the result negatively because we lost, but everything is still in our hands, so we just need to take advantage of our chances to finish in the top four," - added U. Emery.
