London's "Arsenal" had a chance to solidify their fourth position, but a particularly poor performance against Wolverhampton resulted in Unai Emery's players dropping to fifth place.
In the first half, "Wolves" shocked their opponents by scoring three goals. "Arsenal" tried to fix the situation in the second half, but their efforts were in vain - the "wolves" triumphed with a score of 3:1. "Arsenal" acquired a point deficit after the failure against "Chelsea", with three matches remaining until the end of the season.
After the match, U. Emery, speaking to journalists, stated that the team can still achieve their season goal.
"We are very disappointed, but we cannot forget where we were three months ago," - said the strategist to BBC Sport. - "We must remain optimistic and try to return to the top four."
"We already knew it would be tough before the match. "Wolves" have been a very strong team throughout the season, with a good defense and fast players in attack. They are a well-organized team, difficult to play against."
"The first 25 minutes were good for us, we controlled the ball, although we didn't create enough chances. At halftime we tried to change certain aspects of the game and scored a goal in the second half.
We are disappointed, but in the "Premier" league you have to remain consistent throughout all 38 matches," added U. Emery.
"Arsenal" will still have to compete against "Leicester," "Brighton," and "Burnley" in the "Premier" league.
