In a few days' time, Arsenal fans may come to think kindly on this result. After all, they grabbed a last-minute goal to deny Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United a hugely valuable win. However, any satisfaction at denying Arsene Wenger’s nemesis the victory will be tempered by concerns over quite how poor Arsenal were. This was one of their most uninspiring performances of the season.
It started with the selection. Carl Jenkinson was the unsurprising choice to replace the injured Hector Bellerin, but Arsenal fans hoping that the English full-back would have been vastly improved by 18 months on loan with West Ham United will have been left disappointed.
