Arsenal should have gone on and won it - a better team would have gone on and won it. But I think the next couple of weeks for Arsenal are big. They were like, 'Woah, we've got to watch Arsenal here on the counter-attack'. It goes to 1-1 then concentration levels, they are dominating it and then they get caught with a sucker punch. I thought the triple substitution was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction from Arteta. Arsenal were playing well and they lost their shape.

United win fourth straight, ending Arsenal's unbeaten season (Sportsnet.ca)

Remember that time, not so long ago, when there was a crisis at Manchester United? After four straight wins, it seems like a dim and distant memory.

The visitors also reacted badly to conceding a second goal soon after equalizing, with an attacking triple substitution in the 74th minute perhaps coming too early and making the team disjointed. The confidence is back and a style of play has formed. Antony, United’s latest big signing from Ajax for US$95 million, marked his first match in English soccer with a goal from a curling, first-time finish in the 35th minute, crowning a performance that featured a slew of jinks, feints, flicks and exaggerated stepovers that thrilled home fans.

Gabriel Jesus has stated Arsenal are a young team and so have to learn from the 'frustration' of Sunday's 3-1 loss at Manchester United.

No team in the world is perfect and we have to play to try to score and don’t concede. “We have to stick together and improve as a team and don’t think about this one. But that’s football, they have quality as well and then if you don’t go there and kill, you are going to have a big problem – and that’s what happened.” Everyone is together and we stick together until the end. “The feeling is frustration because we play, we control the game and [before] the first two goals we concede we were better than them, the opponent. “But now is the time to learn from it and improve.

Only 10 players in Premier League history have had more than that aged by their 21st birthday, and none of the 10 above him had to feature as a defender, as Saka has on nine occasions in his Premier League career. That landmark used to be an important one in life terms, and it remains the point at which a gifted footballer graduates from being classed as a promising youngster to a real talent. Since Leeds started like a machine in 2001-02 yet went from top after six matches to fifth place by the end of the season, only one other top-after-six-games side has failed to finish in the top four at the end of that season. Against United the Ukrainian returned to the Arsenal XI after an injury of his own and had the relatively difficult job of handling debutant Antony. The next highest shot total by someone with a 100% inside-box ratio is Tomás Soucek, who has had 10 efforts at goal this season and is an entirely different sort of player. Only Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur remain unbeaten in the league this season and neither of them will still be so in May.

Right now, it is not a question of Arsenal's level. He was and remains a fine player, who is a prisoner of his own morale.

"That won't happen because the performance is there," Arteta insisted.
