Match report: Arsenal 1-1 Sheffield United

Yet another deflected goal condemned us to a frustrating draw in a hard-fought affair against Sheffield United on Saturday.

We got off to a tentative start against a Blades side with the second best away record in the division – and it was the visitors who were on top in the early stages.

Lys Mousset, who scored the winner against us at Bramall Lane back in October, had two presentable chances within the first 10 minutes but headed both over the bar.

Slowly but surely we grew into the game, and soon we showed our attacking intent as a slick counter saw Alex Lacazette play Nicolas Pepe into space down the right, and the Ivorian’s cross was volleyed wide by Gabriel Martinelli.
