Arsenal slammed for 'lack of hunger' as Ljungberg labelled 'lucky' by Keown

The Gunners legend believes the club relied on fortune rather than desire as they scraped to a draw in Belgium

Arsenal were guilty of a lack of desire and Freddie Ljungberg was lucky to see his side draw 2-2 with Standard Liege in the Europa League on Thursday, claims Martin Keown.

Needing to simply avoid a 5-0 defeat to qualify for the next stage, the Gunners found themselves trailing 2-0 after 69 minutes as they were made to pay for defensive lapses.

But as they did in their last match against West Ham , Arsenal fought back, with goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Bukayo Sako ultimately securing Ljungberg's side a point that sees them finish top of Group F.
