Wenger: Arsenal will battle on

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger vowed his team would continue their Barclays Premier League title fight despite admitting their chances of ending a six-year trophy drought are “very minimal”.

The Frenchman said before yesterday’s trip to Bolton that his team needed to win all five of their remaining matches to pip Manchester United and Chelsea but they fell at the first hurdle as Tamir Cohen netted late on in a 2-1 victory for the Trotters.
