'Hurt' Wenger says Chelsea drubbing was difficult to watch

Arsenal's title hopes are all but gone after their 3-1 loss to Chelsea and Arsene Wenger admits that the defeat was a painful one.

Arsene Wenger was hurt by the "naive" performance of some of his Arsenal players during a defeat to Chelsea that was "difficult to watch".

Goals from Marcos Alonso, Eden Hazard and former Gunners captain Cesc Fabregas sealed a 3-1 victory for Antonio Conte's side on Saturday, with Olivier Giroud's late header serving as scant consolation.

The result leaves Arsenal 12 points adrift of the Premier League leaders and only one above fifth-place Liverpool with 14 matches left to play.
