Wenger bemoans loss of cheap goals

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was left to count the cost of more poor defending as boos rang around the Emirates Stadium after the Gunners’ final home game of another bitterly disappointing campaign ended in a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Arsenal are now in real danger of seeing FA Cup winners Manchester City, who have a match in hand and are only two points behind, overtake them in the race for automatic Champions League qualification after a third defeat in four games.
