Fabregas: we must tighten up at the back

ARSENAL captain Cesc Fabregas has warned his side can forget about winning the Champions League if their defending does not improve dramatically.

On Tuesday night the Gunners left Liverpool with a point following an amazing 4-4 draw, where they had led in stoppage time through Andrei Arshavin’s fourth goal of the night, before another costly mistake at the back allowed Yossi Benayoun to grab an equaliser.

Going forward, Arsene Wenger’s side look to have enough of a threat to worry Manchester United in their European semi-final – although they will have to do without the cup-tied Arshavin.
