#2 Aaron Ramsey yet again proves his worth

It was the Welshman who was their driving force in the last weekend's win over Chelsea and yet again, the midfielder showed what the Gunners would be missing next season as he provided another masterful performance.

Unlike the match against Chelsea, Aaron Ramsey today was given the free role as Unai Emery looked upon his Welsh midfielder to provide the link between the midfield and the strikers.

The Welshman proved to be a handful for the United defense in the opening half as he linked up well with Alex Iwobi and Saed Kolasniac down the left wing as Arsenal tried to look for the opener.

When Arsenal went 2-0 down, it was once again the Welshman who was the driving force behind Arsenal's reply in the first half. The midfielder dribbled right past the United defense before putting a beautiful ball across the Manchester United goal that was tapped in by Aubameyang after Lacazette's slight touch.

#3 More injury concerns for the Arsenal defense

With Rob Holding already out injured and Hector Bellerin rupturing his ligament in the last match against Chelsea, the last thing Unai Emery would have wanted was to see his two first-choice centre-backs leaving the pitch injured after the duo formed a formidable partnership at the weekend.

Arsenal was forced into a substitution in the 21st minute after Sokratis Papastathopoulos made way for Shkodran Mustafi after the defender landed awkwardly.

Things got worse for the Gunners before the turn of the hour mark as Laurent Koscielny was down for treatment after Romelu Lukaku's wayward boot caught the Frenchman. The Frenchman was brought off in the 64th minute, forcing Unai Emery to play Granit Xhaka in the defense.
