Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger rejects Alexis Sanchez's claims team lack belief

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger rejects Alexis Sanchez's claims that the team lack belief.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has rejected Alexis Sanchez's claims that the team lack belief that they can win the Premier League title.

The Gunners' race for the league crown took a hit on Wednesday night when they lost 2-1 to Swansea City at the Emirates.

After the game, Sanchez claimed that he and his teammates lacked a "certain hunger", but Wenger does not agree.

"No, I don't see that," Wenger told reporters. "I felt a lot of disappointment [in the dressing room] after Wednesday I must say, but to come back on that we watched the game again.

"We were a bit unlucky as the second goal was offside and the first was a blatant foul on [Mesut] Ozil. Even if we look at ourselves to correct results, everything went against us.

"We want to win [against Spurs] but mathematically, you can call it as you want. It's a need, yes, but results are so unpredictable that even the most gifted mathematician will have trouble to find the model for how this league works."

Arsenal are three points behind second-placed Tottenham Hotspur ahead of Saturday's clash at White Hart Lane.
