LONDON (Reuters) - Erik ten Hag blamed defensive mistakes as his Manchester United side went down 3-2 at Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday to leave them 11 points off the top of the table.
A run of five successive wins had prompted title talk at Old Trafford but a draw in midweek at Crystal Palace and Sunday's defeat has halted United's charge.
But Eddie Nketiah's 90th-minute close-range effort sealed a deserved win for Arsenal who dominated the second half. "Two top teams but of course we are disappointed when you lose this game at a late stage. All the goals we conceded today are mistakes -- it can't happen."
