Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United: David de Gea is NOT to blame for Granit Xhakas goal, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not blame David de Gea for the opening goal in Manchester Uniteds 2-0 defeat to Arsenal.The interim boss suffered his first Premier League defeat as the Gunners dented the Red Devils top-four hopes at the Emirates.3

De Gea has been criticised for the Xhaka goal

On a blustery day, Granit Xhaka opened the scoring from 25 yards with a swerving strike which wrong-footed De Gea, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doubled the lead from the penalty spot.Sky Sports pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher failed to agree on whether Xhakas goal was the result of a goalkeeping error, but there was no doubt in Solskjaers mind.Im behind it and I can see it going towards Davids left, so he takes a step towards his left and the movement in the ball was just crazy, he told talkSPORT. So we dont blame him whatsoever.Solskjaer took issue with the award of a penalty to the Gunners after Fred was adjudged to have upended Alexandre Lacazette.There was a coming together, but it appeared soft, and Solskjaer was left disappointed by the decision.The penalty I dont think it is. I dont think Fred does enough for it to warrant a penalty, he added.3

Solskjaer does not blame his goalkeeper

Yes, they run into each other, but I dont think its anywhere near a pen.The match, and indeed the day, was overshadowed by an Arsenal fan who invaded the pitch and appeared to shove Chris Smalling during the celebrations for the second goal.The incident came just hours after Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish was punched from behind by a Birmingham fan.3

A supporter appeared to shove Smalling

Knowing Chris, hell probably get on with it, Solskjaer continued.But you dont want to see that on a football pitch. So hopefully thatll stop because it happened earlier on today with Grealish.
