Arsene Wenger: Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas killed Arsenal's title hopes



Posted Wednesday, May 06, 2015 by Dailystar.co.uk

ARSENE WENGER reckons former Gunner Cesc Fabregas struck the fatal blow to Arsenal's title challenge this season.

The Spanish midfielder bagged an 88th minute winner for Chelsea in their 1-0 victory over rivals QPR last month.

The Loftus Road result ensured the Blues maintained their advantage over Arsenal, who were rocketing up the table in an eight-match winning run.

And Wenger admits Fabregas' strike against the Hoops was vital in Chelsea staying on track for top spot.

"We gave everything to come back [into the title race]," the Frenchman said.

"There were a few turning points, the first was not starting well this season.

"[The other was] Chelsea at QPR when they didn’t drop points. They were very consistent. They lost only two games."

Arsenal cruised to a 3-1 win at Hull last night to move level on points with second-placed Manchester City.

The Gunners also have a game in hand on Manuel Pellegrini's side in the race for the runners-up spot.

And Wenger is urging his side to maintain their fine form as they prepare for the FA Cup final with Aston Villa.

"What is at stake now is to finish second," he added. "If we maintain our run we will and then there is the FA Cup final.

"For me it makes a difference to finish second. We want to finish as high as we can.

"That’s a competitive attitude. We secured only top four. Let’s see if we can maintain the run."
