Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has insisted that his side didn’t lack fight or commitment despite losing 3-2 to a weakened Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Teenage striker Marcus Rashford continued his dream start to his senior career at Manchester United with another brace in the first half against Arsenal and sent his team-mates on their way to a famous 3-2 win over the Gunners.
While the Gunners showed some fight with goals from Danny Welbeck and Mesut Ozil, they failed to create the chances needed towards the end, to get something out of the game.
The Arsenal boss stressed that his team showed enough fight and commitment and played with intensity, but admits that they conceded soft goals, which eventually led to their downfall.
The Gunners lost further ground to Leicester and Tottenham in the title race, but Wenger is not giving up and wants his side to come back stronger against Swansea on Wednesday night.

The Frenchman told the BBC: "We played with a lot of intensity, I cannot fault our commitment and spirit and desire but I feel we conceded too easy goals.
"I think after the game we have to be positive and prepare for the next one. We have another game on Wednesday, they come thick and fast and you want to keep a good mentality.
"We did fight until the end, we had a lot of the ball but I think we could avoid the goals with better concentration.
"I am disappointed because we lost the game but we will focus on the next one. This is a fight where you go to the next one and aim to come back even stronger."
