Arsene Wenger says his side were unlucky to lose 2-1 at home to Swansea and called for a response in the north London derby against Tottenham.Arsenal took the lead through Joel Campbells 15th-minute strike at the Emirates Stadium, before goals from Wayne Routledge and Ashley Williams saw the away side claim the three points - much to the bemusement of the Gunners boss.We were a bit unlucky on the night, Wenger told Sky Sports. We hit the bar a few times, we were on top and were a bit unlucky for the first goal because it was a foul [on Mesut Ozil in the build-up] and they took advantage of that. Joel Campbell (far right) celebrates with team-mates after scoring Arsenals opening goal against Swansea I still cant understand that as its under the eyes of the referee. We were really unlucky with that decision.They had two shots on target and [scored] two goals. It was a shame to lose a game like that, but we have to respond to that because we play very quickly again.They defended well and at the moment were lacking confidence in front of goal. We have to deal with that. Wayne Routledge scores Swanseas equaliser against Arsenal There were boos around the Emirates as goalscorer Campbell was replaced in the second half by Danny Welbeck, with the Arsenal fans unhappy to see one of their more impressive performers on the night withdrawn.But Wenger defended the decision to take off the Costa Rica international, saying he wasnt fit enough to play the full 90 minutes.I knew he hadnt played for a while and he started to tire, said Wenger. He was playing against a very young boy on the left and I felt Welbecks runs in behind could give him some problems. But Campbell did very well. Ashley Williams celebrates scoring Swanseas second and match-winning goal against Arsenal Wenger, who also confirmed Petr Cech will miss the trip to Tottenham on Saturday, along with Laurent Koscielny, insisted he had already turned his attention fully to White Hart Lane.Meanwhile, Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker insisted his team will fight to get back into the title race.We tried really hard and the effort was fine tonight, different to what we provided against Manchester United, he told Sky Sports.We played quite well but [always] missed the last pass and hit the post a couple of times. It didnt go for us tonight, but its not the end of the world. Well fight again and think about [our next game] on Saturday.We wanted a better result and performance, but these are small margins and we should have done better defensively. At the end you could feel there was a nervousness all over the place and we didnt react well to that.Its very tight at the top so everyone is getting nervous. Leicester are top and have a big advantage now but its not over.Also See:Arsenal misery continuesArsenal 1-2 Swansea recapGet a £10 free bet!Arsenal statsClearance Nike Free Nz .

Wholesale Nike Free Nz .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- In this day and age of high-flying passing attacks, the Minnesota Vikings have been a bit of a throwback in their run-first approach to offense.So now that the focal point of that offense is lost for the foreseeable future, the season is over, right?Not so fast.Adrian Peterson had surgery on Thursday to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, a procedure that is expected to keep him out for at least several months with a strong possibility that he misses the rest of the season.And the Vikings were ranked 28th in the league in offense with the best running back of his era on the field.I know everybody is all concerned about we dont have this or we dont have that but its a team, coach Mike Zimmer said.Thats why we have 53 guys here, so that we can try to win as a team. Thats all Ive ever done since Ive been here.The Vikings started the season with Super Bowl aspirations, even after quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went down just over a week before the opener with a devastating knee injury.This week they lost Peterson and starting left tackle Matt Kalil (hip) to long-term injuries, but they remain confident that all is not lost heading into a Week 3 matchup at Carolina.So here is the formula the Vikings (2-0) will have to follow to survive life without Peterson carrying the offensive load:RUNNING BACK CREWPeterson was one of the few true workhorses left at running back in the league. He had 31 carries in the first two weeks, while the rest of the running backs on the roster combined for just 13.Now the offense will use a running back by committee, with shifty Jerick McKinnon getting the start, thumper Matt Asiata spelling him and the recently signed Ronnie Hillman there for insurance.While none of those three have anything close to the resume of Peterson, they all bring different things to the table that can help them be effective as a group.McKinnon is an accomplished receiver out of the backfield, an area that Peterson never mastered.Asiata hits the holes quick and never dances in the backfield like Peterson would do on occasion, taking some of the burden off the beleaguered offensive linemen to sustain their blocks.Theyre both capable of being good pass protectors. Theyre both good receivers, offensive coordinator Norv Turner said.We can mix them however we want, but Jerick with his eexplosiveness and his ability to come out of the backfield when appropriate we will try to take advantage of that.ddddddddddddBRADFORDS ARM, DIGGS HANDSSam Bradford surpassed all expectations on Sunday night when he took hold of the offense after two weeks of practice and was so sharp in a victory over the Green Bay Packers.Bradford completed 22 of 31 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns, taking advantage of a defense that had loaded up to stop Peterson.He immediately clicked with second-year receiver Stefon Diggs, a budding star who had nine catches for 182 yards and a touchdown in the game.With Peterson gone, it would figure that the offense would evolve more to feature the passing game with Bradford, Diggs and tight end Kyle Rudolph. But Zimmer and Turner both said they were committed to a balanced offense.Thats our identity and thats how were built. Were going to continue to stay that way, Zimmer said.Hopefully we can play good defense and hopefully we can run the ball. Take our shots when we get a chance. Were not going to change and go to like five (receivers) every play.HEAVY DOSE OF DZimmer is a defensive-minded coach, and he has his unit playing at a high level early in the season. The Vikings rank fifth in total defense, scored two touchdowns in the season-opening 25-16 victory in Tennessee and kept Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense under wraps in the 17-14 win on Sunday night.The Vikings shouldnt need to get into many shootouts to win games this season, and they dont have to look back far for inspiration.The Broncos rode a dominant defense to the Super Bowl championship last season, with DeMarcus Ware, Von Miller, Aqib Talib and crew helping a weakened Peyton Manning win his second title.With Everson Griffen, Harrison Smith, Danielle Hunter and Eric Kendricks, the Vikings have a versatile, aggressive, playmaking unit that will take the pressure off the offense.Youre going to have guys go down throughout the year, defensive end Brian Robison said.And us as a defense, were going to put it on our shoulders and were going to make sure that we do whatever we can do to put the offense in a good position.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
