During what has been a frustrating end to another promising campaign from an Arsenal perspective, here’s a list of five of the best Premier League moments that the Gunners have enjoyed this term.

Between the backline against United, they made five completed tackles, ten interceptions, 21 clearances and blocked two shots on goal.
Then Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, fresh off the substitutes’ bench playing as a right-back no less, proved pivotal as he skipped past Marcus Rashford before lofting a teasing cross into the area with Olivier Giroud lurking.
The rest was history and although it was a lacklustre performance in the final third, this result was an encouraging one as it highlighted that yes, maybe Arsenal could perform below expectations and still manage to snatch a decent result away against their rivals – especially having been a goal behind too.
