Olivier Giroud came off the bench and scored a late equaliser to rescue a 1-1 draw for Arsenal against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Frenchman headed home Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains cross in the penultimate minute of normal time after Juan Mata had given United a deserved lead midway through the second half.It was a bitter blow for Jose Mourinhos side, who dominated the game for long periods and restricted Arsenal to just a single shot on target. Here, we round up the top talking points. More frustration for unlucky UnitedMourinho described his side as the unluckiest team in the Premier League in his post-match interview with Sky Sports. He might well have a point. United have had 74 shots to their opponents 14 in their last three league games at Old Trafford, but somehow they have drawn them all. Jose Mourinho hailed Manchester Uniteds phenomenal defensive display in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford The United boss was keen to emphasis his sides phenomenal performance, but it was a maddeningly frustrating outcome after such a one-sided encounter. United produced one of their best performances of the season despite a raft of injuries and suspensions, and until the 89th minute it was looking like a statement of intent that could kick-start their season.United were utterly dominant in the second half and they could easily have been ahead before the break. Mata and Anthony Martial went close, and United had a strong claim for a penalty when Nacho Monreal tangled with the excellent Antonio Valencia shortly before half-time. Jose: United are unluckiest team Manchester United are the unluckiest team in the Premier League, according to Jose Mourinho. United played with intensity. It was only the second time all season they have ran further than their opponents, and the defensive work-rate made a real difference. Arsenal have averaged 14 shots per game this season but they only managed five at Old Trafford. United should have killed the game earlier, but it was typical of their bad luck that Arsenals only effort on target ended up in the back of the net.Giroud makes his markAlexis Sanchez went straight into the Arsenal team despite his injury scare on international duty, but the Chilean looked well short of his best. Instead, it was left to Giroud to come up with the equaliser. The Frenchman only touched the ball 10 times after replacing Mohamed Elneny, but it all came down to that dramatic moment in the 89th minute. Olivier Giroud heads home a late equaliser for Arsenal Giroud timed his run perfectly to meet Oxlade-Chamberlains delivery and his bullet header was unstoppable for David De Gea. Just when the team needed him most, it was the perfect piece of centre-forward play, said Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp.The muted celebration hinted at frustration at his lack of playing time, but it is only a few weeks since he came off the bench to inspire Arsenals 4-1 victory at Sunderland. He has scored with eight of his nine shots on target in the Premier League, and he is proving to be a perfect Plan B following Sanchezs emergence as Wengers first-choice striker. Arsene Wenger was pleased with Arsenals response after going 1-0 down against Manchester United to rescue a draw at Old Trafford Giroud does ever so well, said Thierry Henry in the Sky Sports studio. He is saving points for Arsenal again. I dont know if hes going to like doing that job but you need a guy whos going to come off the bench and spark something.Mata proving his worth to MourinhoIt seemed the writing was on the wall for Mata when Mourinho was named Manchester United boss in the summer. The playmaker was dropped and sold by the Portuguese at Chelsea, and a similar situation appeared to be in the offing when he suffered the ignominy of being subbed after coming off the bench during the Community Shield win over Leicester in August. Jose Mourinho congratulates Juan Mata as he leaves the pitch Mata, though, has made himself indispensable, impressing both centrally and on the right. He netted Uniteds first goal of the Premier League season against Bournemouth, and his sweeping equaliser against Arsenal was reminiscent of his winner in Uniteds EFL Cup clash with Manchester City last month. Manchester United v Arsenal running stats Player Team Distance covered Ander Herrera Man Utd 11.6km Aaron Ramsey Arsenal 11.1km Michael Carrick Man Utd 10.9km Juan Mata Man Utd 10.8km Mesut Ozil Arsenal 10.7km Graeme Souness praised his fabulous football brain after the game, but Mourinho will have taken just as much satisfaction from his work-rate. Matas defensive frailties did for him at Chelsea, but he has worked tirelessly to win over Mourinho this season. Only three players covered more ground at Old Trafford, and Mata also made three tackles and two interceptions.Arsenal missing CazorlaWenger picked a defensively-minded central midfield duo of Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny in an effort to shore up the middle of the pitch, but the lack of creativity was striking. Neither player created a single scoring opportunity, and they also struggled to work the ball to the players in front of them. Paul Pogba goes down under the challenge of Mohamed Elneny Coquelin only found Sanchez once in the entire game, while Elneny only managed to pick him out five times. With Mesut Ozil similarly peripheral, this was another game in which Arsenal missed Santi Cazorlas passing ability from the base of midfield.The Spaniard has been sidelined with an Achilles problem since Arsenals 6-0 win over Ludogorets last month, and its a major headache for Wenger. Cazorla is the player who makes the Gunners tick. This season they have created just 8.4 chances per game without him in the team compared to 11.9 with him. They need him back as soon as possible.Did Arsenal lack ambition?Arsenal left as the happier side but this was a grimly familiar performance from Wengers men. Once again they appeared to freeze at Old Trafford, the scene of so many disappointing results in recent years. They never looked like winning the game, and there was barely any attacking intent in the second half before Girouds late leveller. Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal Against a makeshift back four, should Arsenal not have gone for the jugular? They will be going back down south really happy with themselves because theyve dug out a result scoring in the last couple of minutes, but they didnt put a marker down, said Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness. They havent turned up at one of the big stadiums, one of their biggest historical rivals and said: Were the team in form, youre not, and were going to show you how good we are. They didnt do that today. Theyll think its a good point but I was looking for them to come here today and show how good they were.
