Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech felt "angry and disappointed" after Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham left their hopes of Champions League qualification hanging by a thread. Victory also moved Spurs 17 points ahead of their north London rivals in the table and ensured they would finish above them for the first time since 1995.

Arsene Wenger's side are sixth, five points behind Man United and six back on fourth-placed Man City. They play United at home next weekend.
"I feel angry and disappointed because obviously it was not a game we wanted to lose and it's a very big disappointment for us," Cech said.
"It hurts because it was a huge game for both teams. They needed to win to keep their title chances alive. We needed to win to keep our Champions League finishing position [hopes] alive. We are very disappointed because it's a north London derby, it means a lot to the fans and it meant a lot to the club, to us. We needed three points and in the end we have none."
Cech insists finishing below Spurs is not chief among the disappointments. "It was not the objective to finish below Tottenham, so we are disappointed with that," Cech added.
