Arsenal play 'ugly' football and are 'annoying' to watch, Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel explosively claimed after their 1-0 defeat by Liverpool.
Dominik Szoboszlai's sensational free-kick seven minutes from time proved the difference at Anfield in a contest in which chances were few and far between.
Mikel Arteta's side mustered up just one attempt on target, coming from Noni Madueke midway through the first half, and they were reluctant to go for the jugular against their title rivals despite the game balancing on a knife-edge.
Pundits including Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane questioned Arteta's approach, the latter going as far as describing the Gunners as too 'robotic'.
