The Gunners pinned us back during the closing stages of the Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium, with Eddie Nketiah flicking home a 90th-minute winner to break United hearts.
According to Opta, Arsenal recorded a season-high 63 touches in the United box and their expected-goals (xG) figure of 3.1 was the second-most we have allowed in a game this season, only beaten by the 6-3 Manchester derby defeat in October.
In his post-match interviews, Erik highlighted the ‘small details’ and ‘mistakes’ made by his side on Sunday but, ahead of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Nottingham Forest, the Dutchman was keen to have a more holistic view of things, pointing out our generally strong defensive performances in recent months.
