Wenger: We didn't take our chances

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said that his Arsenal side looked tired and jaded against Manchester United and attributed the cause of this to Arsenal's European campaign.

Despite that, Arsenal had enough chances to win the game but once again their finishing let them down.

Wenger said: "We had chances that we didn't take - and that can be costly.

"Physically I thought Man Utd were sharper than we were. We looked a bit jaded in the final half-hour, and that's why I think Man Utd maybe deserved to win the game.

"At 1-0 down we missed two great chances - one for [Robin] van Persie and one for [Emmanuel] Adebayor. Then their second goal on the break killed the game."
