EPL: Man United and Arsenal Draw At 1-1

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho (front) and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger watch on during their sides’ Premier League match on Saturday.

‘It’s true that in the past two games he has been a bit frustrated but that’s normal because he’s ready to go again.

Tottenham are one point adrift in fifth after Harry Kane netted twice in three dramatic late minutes to earn a pulsating 3-2 win over West Ham United at White Hart Lane.

It has become a recurring theme for United, who have drawn three consecutive home games in the league for the first time since April 1992. Mourinho – a self-publicist, always inclined to accentuate the positive – seemed to hint at an awareness that questions are being asked about the time it is taking to turn his side around.

“I remember the words he told us before the game in his dressing room: ‘I don’t want to be seen, I want to do my work and you to help me do it the best I can'”. The feeling is good.

They didn’t turn up at one of the big stadiums against one of their historic rivals and say, ‘We are the team on form, you are not on form and we are going to show you how good we are’.

Mourinho was delighted with how his side defended for the vast majority of the game, and insists that they should not feel too disheartened by Arsenal’s late equaliser. “I thought it was the best option”.

“He is the kind of referee who if he make mistakes against my team there is no intention”. He doesn’t want to be the man of the match.

Arsenal now sit fourth in the standings, just two points off the top, but Wenger won’t be happy with the team’s form coming out of the worldwide break.

After Sanchez headed a gilt-edged early opportunity wide, United had by far the better chances in the first half, with Arsenal playing in a much more reserved manner than usual, clogging up midfield and forcing the hosts wide. Riyad Mahrez pulled one back from the penalty spot for Leicester, which plays Club Brugge on Tuesday.

“We just focus on Burnley, Stoke and Arsenal – nine points, easily”.

“Obviously he plays with some guidelines over his position, but at the same time with some freedom to occupy some attacking areas where he feels and thinks he can be important”.

“We don’t have very strong people in the air to cope with the cross”, he said. They are the lucky ones and we are the unlucky ones.

Speaking after the match, Mourinho bemoaned his team’s bad luck although he was also keen to praise the overall performance of his players.

“I didn’t get the impression today watching Arsenal that we were watching a team that would go on and win the Premier League”. That is the reality. It’s just still a little hard to say what it really means for either of these teams.
