The Gunners held a 3-2 lead with the clock ticking down but were forced to settle for a point after Joe Allen netted in the final moments of the second-half.
Wenger's men have now won just one of their past five Premier League away games and are ahead of Leicester City at the top of the table only on goal difference after the Foxes beat Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
And the Frenchman hopes that the result does not come back to bite his side as they aim to win the league for the first time since 2004.
“I am frustrated by the result but not disappointed by the performance - we have shown character again and came from behind to get to 3-2," he told reporters.
“The frustration comes from the fact that at 3-2 we had three situations where we should have made it 4-2, and made bad decisions - that is the frustration for me tonight.
“That and we conceded a goal in the last minute...but that can happen in England. It shows that everywhere is very even and very difficult.
"Hopefully, we are not going to have to regret this goal at the end of the championship. It is still a draw, they've done well at the end of the game and pushed a lot.
"It's a good performance but we could have done better."
Wenger also felt that Arsenal's infamous 5-1 defeat at Anfield in February 2014 was still playing on the minds of some of his players early on.
He added to BBC Sport: "I felt we had an apprehensive start. We had some bad memories from a few years ago and you could still see that in some players.
"We went 1-0 down and then we started to play. We come out of the game with a lot of positive but still some regrets."
