'Vintage Arsenal'

Arsenal mocked after dominating Manchester United but not scoring despite peppering goal

Arsene Wenger's side were totally on top against Jose Mourinho's men at the Emirates but could not make it count

ARSENAL were mocked online for failing to score despite totally dominating against Manchester United.

Arsene Wenger's side peppered David De Gea between the sticks but simply could not find a way through.

And despite the United keeper's heroics - such as the incredible stop to deny an own goal from Romelu Lukaku - it was the Gunners' inability to finish that led to much ridicule.

One Twitter user wrote: "Vintage Arsenal."

Another said: "Arsenal players not hungry today? Can't finish their dinner."

A fellow fan posted: "Only Arsenal could have that many absurdly close chances and not finish a single one."

Another said: "Arsenal wags will enjoy a good session in bed because these players are in no mood to finish!"

An Arsenal fan posted: "Pure garbage finishing from fraud Arsenal players! Nobody knows how to finish! What a joke."

One viewer said: "Can't believe Arsenal didn't score."
Another said: "Honestly cannot fathom how we haven't scored at least one."

A fellow user wrote: "Arsenal did everything in that first half but failed to do the most important thing in a football game which is score a goal."

One fan said: "Arsenal are out playing United, they just can't seem to score for some reason."

Another posted: "How the hell didn't Arsenal score in that first half."

The pain was short-lived however, with Alexandre Lacazette netting just three minutes into the second half after United went ahead through Antonio Valencia and Jesse Lingard.
