10 worst Arsenal games of the 2012/13 season

Southampton v Arsenal - Premier League

8. Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal, Premier League, Old Trafford, 3rd November 2012

(Manchester United - van Persie 3, Evra 67; Arsenal - Cazorla 94)

Manchester United v Arsenal - Premier League

In a match that was billed to be a chance for Arsenal to prove to Dutch traitor Robin van Persie that they were still a force to be reckoned with, the Gunners came woefully short of any sort of desire or intent to win the game. They were put on the backfoot in just the 3rd minute, when van Persie capitalized on a Vermaelen mistake to score the opening goal. Arsenal lacked any sort of creativity, and Manchester United should have doubled the lead, but Wayne Rooney scuffed his penalty. Patrice Evra, of all people, made it 2-0, before Jack Wilshere was sent off seconds later. Arsenal finished with a bit of a flourish, as Cazorla scored late on, but it was a terribly uninspiring performance. The match was also overshadowed by the infamous Andre Santos shirt incident.
