Chelsea just came to defend, says bruised Mikel Arteta Arsenal were also aggrieved that referee Mike Dean waved away a penalty appeal when Theo Walcott appeared to be up-ended by Willian. Theo Walcott is saying that it was also 100 per cent a penalty. We were unlucky," said Arteta. John Terry, the Chelsea captain, was adamant that his team had come for all three points and only altered their tactics in the final minutes of the match. He also believes that Chelsea are well positioned, only two points behind Liverpool and Arsenal, to mount a sustained challenge for the Premier League title. "We came here to win the game but we tightened it up in the last few minutes," said Terry. With five minutes to go it's not a bad point away from home. We've been lacking a bit of solidity away from home. We've got a lot more to give at home and away. We're in a good place. Hopefully we'll put a run together in the New Year. The title race is widely open this year. It's great for the fans. Sometimes a team runs away with the league but not this year. Arsenal have collected only two points from their past three Premier League matches and Wenger admitted that his team may have been psychologically affected by the 6-3 defeat at Manchester City. "I feel we were a bit edgy because we conceded six at Man City and that played in our heads at the start," he said. The games we played at Napoli and City had a little weight in our heads. But let's be serious, if I'd told you we'd be top of the league at Christmas when we lost to Aston Villa, you'd have told me I was absolutely mad. We are where we are. The last few games have been difficult, but we have played Everton, City and Chelsea.
