Arsenal's hopes of clinching a top four spot in the English Premier League was made gloomy after a 2-1 loss to arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby on Sunday. As Arsene Wenger and his boys are still trying their best to forget about the loss and move on, Andre Villas Boas had hit out at Arsenal saying Tottenham's win over them would even make them lose more points.

“It’s not a big enough margin yet for us to be completely safe but what we think is that it can have a direct effect on their motivation,” Villas-Boas said.

“On ours too of course – and we have a difficult game against Liverpool coming up – but particularly on them. We are on an upward spiral in terms of confidence and they are on a negative spiral in terms of results. To get out of that negative spiral is extremely difficult.”

“Playing all these big games can give us all a lift. The players become better, the squad becomes better and more experienced. But we keep our feet on the floor.

“I’ve seen so many shifts in league positions at the end of the season – so you can’t really stop, you have to continue.”
