| Fulham Manager Chris Coleman |
Fulham Manager Chris Coleman was frustrated at Fulham's inability to convert a host of chances into an equaliser.
"I'm pig-sick. I thought we did enough to deserve at least a draw. It's ironic as Edwin is normally as sound as a pound but he's had a bit of a brain-storm there and it's lost us the game," he said.
"He's so confident that he tried it again in the second-half and it came off. If you try to knock that arrogance out of him, he wouldn't be the same keeper.
"But it didn't come off the first time and the ball was in the back of the net. He's gutted, devastated.
"At half-time, he came in and held his hand up. But what's the point of me getting on his back? He knows he's done wrong. He's had a magnificent season and could well be our player of the year."
Coleman tipped Arsenal to complete an unbeaten season, but warned they would have to win either the title or the Champions League next season to be considered a truly 'great' side.
"Some people say they have under-achieved but they've won the title and they're a terrific team," he added.
"But I do think that if they're going to call themselves immortal, great teams have to start winning back-to-back championships and the Champions League, like Manchester United and Liverpool have done in the past."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has declared that Arsenal can achieve sporting "immortality" next weekend if they take the final step in going through an entire Premiership season unbeaten.
Wenger's title-winning side extended their undefeated league campaign to 37 games with a scrappy 1-0 win at Fulham as Jose Reyes took advantage of an early blunder by Edwin van der Sar.
Now just Leicester bar their path to the record books, with Preston North End having been the only other top-flight English side to have been gone unbeaten, albeit in a 22-game season in 1888-89.
Dutch side Ajax and Italian giants AC Milan have also achieved the feat in the modern era, but Wenger underlined the scale of the achievement which is now potentially ahead of his side.
"I don't think the players fully realise what is at stake as there is no history of it happening before. For me it would be something massive," he declared.
"There is real history to be made and certainly, football-wise, immortality as I don't think it will be done again.
"Everybody who has played against English teams realises how difficult the Premiership is. You would get a lot of respect to do that in any big championship.
"Next Saturday's game is like a final for us. You can always lose a game, even against a team who are already relegated.
"But we must be focused. There are no regrets when you give everything.
