Wenger still targeting top four

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits his team face a “massive challenge” to get back into the top four of the Barclays Premier League after losing 2-1 at arch-rivals Tottenham – but he is not about to throw in the towel just yet.

The Gunners left White Hart Lane empty handed and some seven points adrift of Spurs yesterday after first-half goals in the space of two minutes from Gareth Bale – his 20th of an outstanding campaign – and Aaron Lennon proved enough to seal a home victory.
