Henry: Title race is over for Arsenal

Former Arsenal star Thierry Henry claimed that the club should forget about winning the Premier League crown this season, and focus on securing a Champions League spot.

The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace, and lie 13 points behind Leicester City with just 15 still to play for before the end of the season.

Speaking after the game, Henry affirmed that the club's performance was just not up to scratch.

"Palace were in a situation where they could've won it," he told Sky Sports.

"Yes, Welbeck had a chance, yes, there was some chances in and around the Palace penalty box. But again, it wasn't enough, especially at home."

With the Foxes appearing to have an insurmountable lead, the Frenchman opined that the Champions League should be Arsene Wenger's prime objective.


"The guys must be disappointed because they were trying to see if they can have a last push to win the title," he said.
