Arsenal lose 3-1 to West Brom
And Wenger admits hosts West Brom were the better team on the day.
Wenger said: "It was a typical Premier League game nowadays.
"A team with a lot of the ball against a team who defends very well and plays on the counter attack and set pieces.
"We knew at half time at 1-1 the danger that could come on the counter attack or corners.
"We were caught again in the second half and unfortunately we couldn’t score."
Arsenal's defeat to West Brom was their fourth defeat in their last five Premier League outings.
