Wenger rues inconsistency

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger suffered a miserable afternoon as Bacary Sagna limped off during defeat to Aston Villa that could have implications for their Premier League title bid.

Sagna picked up an ankle injury during the build-up to Villa’s opener in the 2-0 win and could be out for a “few weeks” after being carried off on a stretcher, according to Wenger.
