Supporters who followed the game on our Official App, which delivered a flow of live statistics from the Emirates Stadium, could have been forgiven for thinking Solskjaer's men were unfortunate to leave with a 2-0 loss.
The visitors performed positively according to many of the main statstical measures, despite falling to Granit Xhaka's first-half drive and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's second-half penalty.
The Reds enjoyed more of the possession (54 per cent), made 16 more forward passes than the hosts and two more touches in the opposition area.
United also delivered more crosses and had more shots on target, while also hitting the woodwork on two occasions through Romelu Lukaku and Fred.
