Arsenal Goalkeeper Bernd Leno Insists His Side Must 'Improve Defensively' to Secure Top Four Finish

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has insisted the Gunners' defence must improve drastically if they want to secure Champions League football next season.

The Gunners currently have the worst defence of the top six sides and are yet to keep a clean sheet away from home following their 2-1 win over Huddersfield on Saturday. Despite their frailties at the back, Arsenal remain just one point behind fourth placed Manchester United heading into the final 12 Premier League games of the season.

First-half goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Alex Iwobi put Unai Emery's side in a commanding position against the Terriers, but an own goal from Sead Kolasanic just minutes from time ensured the wait for a clean sheet away from home continues.
