Arsene Wenger admits that his Arsenal side failed to deal with the tactics of Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road this afternoon.

Arsene Wenger has admitted that he was disappointed with Arsenal's performance away at Queens Park Rangers earlier today.

Despite a goal from winger Theo Walcott, the Gunners slipped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of their hosts.

Looking back at the match, Wenger has conceded that QPR's pre-match plans proved to be his side's undoing.

"It is a disappointing performance. They defended well and I felt we played football without hurting them and we made defensive mistakes that we could not afford to on top of that," the Frenchman told BBC Sport.

"They had a plan where they left us with the ball and it is more suited to playing against the bigger teams.

"I felt that if you had the choice you want a better pitch but I don't think it explains why we were beaten in too many domains."

Victory for North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur against Swansea City tomorrow will see Arsenal slip a place in the Premier League table.
