Arsenal loses hope after defeat from Tottenham

After a damaging 2-1 defeat at bitter north London against Tottenham, Arsenal has lost hope of winning the English Premier League title.
Arsenal could not find their way past an obstinate Tottenham defense and the home side took the lead with a surprise goal from debutant Danny Rose.
Teenage midfielder Rose reacted first to goalkeeper Manuel Almunia's punch out, hitting an unstoppable 10th minute volley into the net.
And Tottenham increased their lead in the first minute of the second half when Gareth Bale found himself in space to crack the ball past Almunia.
Arsenal introduced striker Robin van Persie as a substitute with 25 minutes remaining but this move was of no good.
They finally pulled a goal back when Nicklas Bendtner puts Theo Walcott's right-wing cross in net.
Now the new positions are as follow:
