Any Arsenal fan would want to forget this dreadful day at Old Trafford. It was arguably one of the most humiliating defeats of Arsene Wenger in his Arsenal career. The Gunners lacked any big name players in the side, and it was evident in their play as well.

Manchester United were dominant from the very first minute. A young Danny Welbeck opened the scoring for the home side followed by a penalty miss from Robin Van Persie. It got worse for Wenger as Ashley Young beautifully curled the ball into the top corner, doubling United's lead in the process.

Since then, the Red Devils went rampant, scoring six more goals which included a Wayne Rooney hat-trick. Despite the comprehensive victory, the end of the season was a heartbreaking moment for Sir Alex, and his team as Manchester City won the league title on the last day of the campaign.
