Kolo Toure admits the manner of Arsenal's dramatic Champions League exit at Anfield was 'hard to accept' after the Gunners came within touching distance of the semi-finals last night.
Arsenal were minutes away from securing a place in the last four after Emmanuel Adebayor levelled the tie last night at 2-2 when he netted a second crucial away goal following a breathtaking 70-yard run from England youngster Theo Walcott.
However, the Gunners' joy was shortlived as Liverpool went up the other end almost immediately and were awarded a controversial penalty by Swedish referee Peter Frojfeldt when he adjudged substitute Ryan Babel had been bundled over by Toure.
Reds captain Steven Gerrard smashed home the resulting spot-kick, before Babel wrapped things up in stoppage time as Arsenal pressed forwards, setting up a semi-final meeting with Chelsea.
The fashion of the defeat, though, was a bitter pill to swallow for Arsene Wenger's men, who had taken an early lead through Abou Diaby before the home side hit back via Sami Hyypia and a brilliant goal from Fernando Torres.
A campaign which once promised so much for Arsenal is now in real danger of unravelling, with a crunch Barclays Premier League clash to come on Sunday at leaders Manchester United, whom they trail by six points.
Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure, though, insists all is not yet lost despite the bitter disappointment on a night of high drama at Anfield.
'We came back into it and then Liverpool got a penalty which was really hard to accept,' he said.
'The referee gave the foul against me, but I just moved away from him [Babel] and I think Cesc caught his hand maybe, which was outside the area anyway - but that is the game and the referee has given the penalty. What can you do?'
Toure declared: 'We just need to think about the Premiership now and see how far we can go.'
Gunners boss Wenger considered the penalty which swung the game late on was 'dodgy' and a 'gift' from the Swedish official, maintaining his side had been the victim of bad decisions in both legs.
At the Emirates last week Arsenal were denied a spot-kick when Dirk Kuyt pulled back Hleb - and last night they were on the receiving end of a controversial decision.
'I felt at that stage the game was over at 2-2. Then there was a dodgy penalty and we started to lose concentration,' lamented Wenger.
'Over the two games this is hard to swallow. The big decisions over penalties in both matches have gone against us.
'It is difficult to take, the players in the dressing room were very down because they believe week after week the decisions are going against them.
'It was not a penalty, I have seen the replay - but we were denied a clear penalty last week. That was a real penalty, this one wasn't.'
Wenger added: 'It will be hard now, we have to go to Manchester United next at the weekend, but we will try to finish strongly. However, we still feel a great sense of injustice.'

BENITEZ RELISHING BLUES SHOWDOWN
Rafael Benitez is looking forward to Liverpool's third Champions League semi-final with Chelsea in four seasons.
The Spaniard masterminded the quarter-final defeat of Arsenal on Tuesday night at Anfield, a 4-2 victory and 5-3 aggregate triumph over Arsene Wenger's men.
Now Liverpool face Chelsea at home first, on April 22, with the return at Stamford Bridge on April 30 for the right to contest the final in Moscow on May 21.
Benitez said: "It is amazing that it is Chelsea again, and just as before it will be a very, very tough game."
Liverpool have had the upper hand over Chelsea in Europe. They beat them 1-0 on aggregate to reach the successful 2005 final in Istanbul, and then battled through two 0-0 group stage matches against the west Londoners the following season.
Then last term they reached the final in Athens with a penalty shoot-out success over Chelsea.
Now it is Chelsea again, but this time the second leg will be at Stamford Bridge.
Benitez said: "Will that be an advantage to Chelsea? I don't know, these games are always very close. I will tell you after the matches who had the advantage."
Liverpool have now reached their ninth European Cup semi-final and their 15th in all European competitions.
The Anfield victory saw Benitez emerge triumphant and unbeaten from three clashes with the north Londoners in a week.
The Gunners took an early lead through Abou Diaby in the 13th minute, only for Sami Hyypia to level.
Fernando Torres fired the Reds in front, but Emmanuel Adebayor looked to have put the Gunners through with a second late away goal after a brilliant surging run by Theo Walcott before Gerrard won it from the spot. Substitute Ryan Babel added a fourth in stoppage time.
Benitez said: "I was delighted with the belief of my players, particularly in the second half. We had been so poor before the break, but so much better in the second period.
"It was a tremendous game for our fans, there were six goals and we played so well.
"I hear Steven Gerrard has said it was a poor game by him, but I was satisfied. He scored a crucially important penalty for us when it really mattered, that was positive from him to take it so well.
"Now we have Chelsea again in the semi-final. Again it will be a very, very tough game against an excellent side. But like tonight, we have enough experience of such matches and clearly the belief to succeed again.
"And when we went to 2-2 so near the end, my players showed tremendous character and desire to get up off the ground to win the tie."

Liverpool reject Florent Sinama-Pongolle - now with Recreativo de Huelva - is a £7.2m target for Valencia and Atletico Madrid. (Daily Mirror)
raf999's greatest ever mistake in the transfer market was to let pongolle leave for only 2m GBP.
he's a good player! :cry:
