Arsenal suffered a blow to their title challenge after losing 3-2 against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Gunners could however, have scored more goals had they converted more of Mesut Özil’s chances. The World Cup winner create a grand total of six goal scoring opportunities more than any other player over the course of the 90 minutes but only one was converted.
The Arsenal star has now created 111 chances in the Premier League this season – the highest in the league.
Özil setup Danny Welbeck with a brilliant set-piece delivery on 40 minutes for the Gunners opening goal but his teammates squandered their other opportunities.
