Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger felt Jack Wilshere was unlucky to be sent off during his side's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United.

Wenger admitted he was frustrated by his side's lack of cutting edge in the final third as they struggled to create goalscoring opportunities. "We had a lot of possession, but not very progressive, but had a lot of possession so it was important to find some space in the final third of the game and not lose the game before that. "But when you are down 2-0, down to ten men it was very difficult. "We didn't create a lot and had a lot of the ball."
