Arsenal 2-3 Man Utd: An awful afternoon demands immediate improvement

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video

I wonder if this is a moment in the season that might align with a moment in yesterday’s match. Having played pretty well, and gone ahead through a Lisandro Martinez own goal, Arsenal got a case of the yips.

We’d enjoyed 60% possession, taken 6 shots to United’s 2, and given ourselves a platform at home to go on and assert real control. Instead, between that moment and half-time, it was like we felt all the pressure of this title race, and hit the self-destruct button.
