Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admitted Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Sunderland had seriously dented their hopes of mounting a serious Premier League title challenge.
Their first defeat in 14 games saw the Gunners slip eight points off the pace set by league leaders Chelsea.
But after the narrow defeat at the Stadium of Light which came via a 71st minute winner from Darren Bent, Wenger offered no excuses.
"It is a massive setback because you need consistency to win a title," declared the Frenchman after seeing his side slip down to third place in the table.
"Today we were not capable of doing that and it raises question marks.
"We lost a game and we can only fault ourselves because we didn't score.
"Some players were not at their best and we gave a goal away on the only situation where Sunderland could score one today, a set-piece, that sums it up well.
"We did not create enough chances either and there was a lack of penetration."
