77Arsenal manager Arsene WengerArsenal manager Arsene Wenger said qualifying for next season’s Champions League via a Premier League top-four finish remained his priority after Arsenal slipped to a third league defeat in five games at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Manchester United secured a return to the Champions League by winning last year's Europa League and Arsenal are through to the last 32 of Europe's second-tier club competition. “The priority remains being in the Champions League (qualification places) through the Premier League,” Wenger told reporters. “I am not a great fan of the Europa League winner qualifying for the Champions League - I think it is not right. “Today was a game we couldn't afford to lose” Wenger added.
