Arsenal defender Gael Clichy believes the reason why the Gunners let a two-goal lead slip away last Sunday is that the English Premiership is a very tough league where even a three goal cushion may not be enough.

Speaking after the West Ham game, the Frenchman said:

We were in control of the game, but it is not enough because we have to win games and stop losing points like this because it is a big disappointment.

We have the quality, it is just small details that make the difference and we know that.

On set-pieces you have to be focused and referee decisions are not in our hands.

The Premier League is really tough – even at 3-0 up you can concede a draw or lose the game.
