Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was frustrated that his side came away empty handed from their match against Manchester United despite dominating possession.
The Gunners had 61% of the ball at Old Trafford but ended up losing 3-2, a result that puts a dent in their title ambitions. They are now five points behind Barclays Premier League leaders Leicester City after winning only two of their last seven league matches.
"We had a lot of the ball and a lot of possession," Wenger said. "We favoured their game plan because we conceded two quick goals and at 2-0 down it is difficult. You have to take a gamble. I think the biggest regret was we had so much of the ball but we conceded three goals. It is difficult to win away from home after that.
"On the set pieces I expected us to do more from the number of free kicks we had around their box. From the middle of the park we were not dangerous enough."
Wenger did have words of praise for 18-year-old Marcus Rashford, who continued his incredible start to his Old Trafford senior career with two first-half goals.
"The player who was surprising for me talent-wise was Rashford because of the timing of his movement and his intelligence," he added.
