United had 75% possession in the first ten minutes today, and Arsenal completed 9 passes in that time. (The score was 0-0 in this period). In total, United had 22 shots at goal, the first time they've done that to arsenal in the Premier League since 2011 (altho I do 8-2 bring that up).
How many of those 22 shots went in?
Into your brain? All of them, I presume, through your eyes, but there are none so blind as those who do not want to see. You don't win by being the better team, you win by scoring more goals, which Arsenal did, so Arsenal won. But United were the better team. You can still be happy with the 3 pts.
Well I for one look forward to the better team being involved in another relegation battle.
