Liam Rosenior admitted Arsenal were \u2018the best team in the world from set plays\u2019 after Chelsea\u2019s \u2018really frustrating\u2019 defeat at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s hopes of qualifying for next season\u2019s Champions League were dealt another blow as the Blues were beaten 2-1 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

William Saliba nodded Arsenal in front midway through the first half before Chelsea equalised just before the interval through a Piero Hincapie own goal.<\/p>\n

Chelsea were gaining control in the second half before Arsenal went back ahead, Jurrien Timber heading home from another Declan Rice corner.<\/p>\n

Pedro Neto was sent off for a second yellow card just moments later but Chelsea still threatened to equalise, David Raya denying Enzo Fernandez, Joao Pedro and Alejandro Garnacho.<\/p>\n

Chelsea did have the ball in the back of the net in injury-time but Liam Delap\u2019s goal was correctly ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n

Rosenior described the defeat as \u2018really frustrating\u2019 as Chelsea dropped points for the third Premier League game in a row to slip to sixth in the table.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s been the same story for the last three games,\u2019 Rosenior said. \u2018You have performances to get results and it is the same story. We were in the ascendancy for all three games.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are together because what I never do whether we win or lose games is start pointing fingers at players. But it is clear what we need to improve.<\/p>\n

\u2018It is not our football or attacking play, we need to make sure we are ruthless in both boxes.<\/p>\n

\u2018To concede two goals from corners and get another red card, that has been the story of our season. It has been the story of the last few games.\u2019<\/p>\n

Discussing Arsenal\u2019s threat from set-pieces, Rosenior added: \u2018The first goal is top. Arsenal are probably the best team in the world from set plays.<\/p>\n

\u2018If you don\u2019t think we\u2019ve spent all week working on set plays, you would be crazy not to. But the second one is disappointing, we just have to deal with that better.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have to be stronger, we have to have a better mentality. We gave a free-kick away and then we gave a corner away when we were in control from a sloppy moment.<\/p>\n

\u2018We need to win games of football and we need to solve that before Aston Villa.\u2019<\/p>\n

While Chelsea face a huge fight to qualify for the Champions League, Arsenal are again five points clear at the top of the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said: \u2018We knew it was going to be a tough game. They are a top side, really well coached.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think we did some great things throughout the game. The moment we conceded the goal, it was disappointing, but we responded well in the end.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are really happy because we know we had two difficult games in the last week. The attitude and willingness to go for it and be dominant, I am happy with it.<\/p>\n

\u2018In March, we are in every competition, we are right up there.\u2019<\/p>\n
