Arsenal 3-1 Man Utd: Erik ten Hag believes 'everything' went against his team during dramatic late defeat

Erik ten Hag believes Alejandro Garnacho's second-half goal should have stood claiming the 'wrong angle' was used by VAR to rule out the on-field decision to award the goal; Ten Hag also felt Man Utd should have had a penalty and Declan Rice's late strike ought to have been disallowed

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag lamented a hat-trick of decisions which went against his side during Sunday's pulsating 3-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus fired the Gunners to a stunning stoppage-time victory as a thrill-a-minute clash came to an unforgettable conclusion.

The match looked set to end in an absorbing draw after a penalty for a foul on Kai Havertz was overturned following a pitchside review, before the VAR ruled out substitute Alejandro Garnacho's late winner for narrowly straying offside.

Ten Hag blamed United's defeat on various refereeing decisions, saying "everything went against us."

The Dutchman told Sky Sports: "The performance was alright from us. I thought we played a very good game but everything went against us - then you don't win the game.

"We needed a little bit more luck to win the game. It was not offside [for Alejandro Garnacho goal]. It was the wrong angle.

"It was then a penalty on [Rasmus] Hojlund and then we concede a goal that's a foul on Jonny Evans. It's so clear and obvious.
