Arsenal blew away another opportunity to move into the top four on Wednesday night after they were beaten 3-1 by Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium.
Nigeria international Alex Iwobi started his 20th Premier League game of the season and made way for Eddie Nketiah in the 71st minute.
Wolves were cruising at the interval thanks to goals from Ruben Neves, Matt Doherty and Diogo Jota, before Greek defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos reduced the deficit with a header in the 80th minute.
Speaking ahead of the game, Iwobi reflected on his career at the Emirates Stadium outfit and is confident they can achieve their difficult objective of finishing in the Champions League positions.
''I have been there since the age of six, so for me to be here and still playing for the team is like a dream come true,'' Iwobi told Hot Sports TV.
''Long may it continue, I am proud to wear the Arsenal colours and the Arsenal shirt.
''We have been doing well this season and hopefully we can achieve the goals we set at the start of the season.''
With just three games to play, Unai Emery's side are fifth on the table with 66 points, one less than Chelsea who are fourth and four behind third-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
