Wenger refuses to push the panic button

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger is unconcerned that his team have lost their lead at the top of the Premier League heading into the new year.

Man United beat Sunderland 4-0 on Wednesday to move ahead of the Gunners, who drew 0-0 away at Portsmouth.

But Wenger said: ‘‘I prefer to be in front, but with one point difference that is not that big a deal. We have only lost one game so you will have problems to convince me that we are in a crisis. If we do six months again and lose no games we will be champions.
