Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal will not give up on the Premier League title despite their 2-1 defeat at Chelsea on Sunday.

The Gunners - who have secured just one win from eight in all competitions - went ahead through Bacary Sagna on the hour mark.

But Chelsea striker Didier Drogba struck twice to turn the game around and stretch the Blues' unbeaten home league record to 78 games as they moved into second place.

Arsenal are now six points behind leaders Manchester United, who beat Liverpool 3-0 earlier on Sunday, but Wenger's men won't give up the chase.

"We will fight until the end and we are not worried about the future but are disappointed now obviously," Wenger said.

"I believe we have the strength, but at the moment we are six points behind Manchester United.

"When you add the four games we drew and today's loss, now we just have to come back and win games before we dream of the title."

Wenger - who lost full-back Sagna to an ankle injury just before the Chelsea comeback - added: "We were 1-0 up and had it all in our hands,

"We needed a bit more defensive authority as a unit - because the game was there to be taken.

"The spirit was right, and the mentality was fantastic. Overall the team played very well - but at the moment, I feel we have some defensive problems which we need to sort out.

"We got caught on the long balls and the physical battle."

There was mitigation, though, according to Wenger - who added: "We were a bit unlucky because the first goal was offside - and it was also a foul from (John) Terry before that.

"That has a big impact in the game, and recently we have been badly done by things like that.

"It is disappointing because we gave everything but now the priority has to be the next game."
