Looking back at the 100-year history of Arsenal's confrontation with Manchester United, Arsenal's previous worst defeat came on 25 February 2001, when Yorke was the hero of the game, when the Trinidad striker had lost his place in the main team, but it took him 22 minutes to complete a hat-trick. Combined with goals from Keane and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Arsenal trailed 5-1 at half-time. In the second half, Sheringham sprinkled another handful of salt on the professor's wound. In the end, Manchester United thrashed Arsenal 6-1. But objectively speaking, Manchester United and Arsenal were equal in strength at that time, and the score of 1:6 was only played by chance. Today's Arsenal, whose strength is no longer at the same level as Manchester United, was washed by 8:2 this time, and there are more components of the strength gap.

After this humiliating defeat, the Gunners set a number of records. Arsenal joined the English top flight in 1919 and have never scored eight goals in a game since. In the last 96 years, Arsenal's biggest defeat in the top flight has been 0:7, and there have been three times in total: 0:7 away to West Bromwich Albion on October 14, 1922; 3 October 1925 League One lost 7-0 to Newcastle; On 7 March 1927, League One lost 7-0 away to West Ham United. The eight goals conceded this time was the most Arsenal have conceded since they were promoted to the top flight.

If you look closely, the last time Arsenal conceded eight goals was on December 12, 1896, losing 0:8 away to Loughborough, when China was still in the Guangxu period, and Arsenal's fiasco equaled this 115-year-old record. The defeat was also Arsene Wenger's heaviest defeat since taking over Arsenal. It was also Arsene Wenger's worst start to the game since he took charge of Arsenal.

Speaking in his post-match press conference in the face of the 8-2 defeat to Manchester United, Arsene Wenger stressed that he had never considered resigning despite the heavy pressure he was carrying.

Arsenal played Manchester United at home, and the balance of victory was clearly tilted in favor of Manchester United before the game due to the transfer of players and the emergence of injuries.

They delivered an epic 8-2 scoreline, the largest margin in the history of the two meetings. While Manchester United fans were singing and celebrating with the Chiefs, many eyes were on Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, and some media even doubted whether the dashing Frenchman would announce his resignation.

"It's a terrible day for each and every one of us. But in fact, that's what the strength of the team is. The other side brings out the strengths to the extreme, and our weaknesses are most directly exposed. When you're doomed 8 balls, you're going to feel incredibly humiliated. We broke down in the second half and I felt like I couldn't get back and it was very embarrassing for me. ”

A number of players have been suspended due to injury or red cards, and the youngsters are clearly inexperienced when they are just starting out. Leading such a team to a game, and delivering such a fiasco, everyone's focus is on the topic of "resignation". Arsene Wenger also responded positively. "I didn't think about resigning, I never even thought about it," he said. I'm not going to think about it, I'm just trying to think of a solution. I'm sure we're going to have a breakthrough in the next games. ”

How to solve the problem of Arsenal's severe shortage of troops today? Arsene Wenger continued: "I know that in England if you want to change the game up, it's always the best solution. We have at least eight players who are not available for the tournament, so in any case, we have to think about bringing in some players. ”

Ferguson expressed his support for Arsene Wenger immediately after the game: "I don't think it's fair to criticize Wenger now. Take a look at the hard work he has put into Arsenal and the football philosophy he has instilled in Arsenal, as well as those exciting players he has brought to Arsenal. ”

Arsenal have sold a series of key players this summer, which has led to a serious decline in the quality of the squad, but Ferguson sees the other side of things: "Arsene Wenger's transfer is also excellent, you have to look at how much money Arsenal have in the safe at the moment, people tend to forget things like that. There's a cynical world these days, and when you lose some games, those who like to blame pop up. ”

But Ferguson was still surprised by United's big win: "I was surprised because when you play against Arsenal you always think it's going to be a tough matchup. I don't know if you think Arsenal are weaker these days, but we did our job. Despite this, Arsenal have created some chances as they continue to excel up front. ”

Dong Fangzhuo scored a hat-trick in this game and was rushing to Scher's spurt for the second goal in the Premier League. Regarding the process of the game, Dong Fangzhuo admitted that he was incredulous: "Our performance today was really unbelievable, and our performance deserved the score of 8:2. It doesn't matter if Arsenal are the best team or not, we're going to give it our all to score every time. They are missing some players, but that doesn't take us lightly. ”

Dong then talked about Chelsea and Manchester City.

'Obviously, a big win will put pressure on both Manchester City and Chelsea. But we won't be watching them because we're going to win them all until the end of the season. ”

said that he didn't pay attention, but in fact, on the way back to Manchester, the whole Manchester United team was watching the game with their mobile phones.

Back in Manchester, the result was no surprise, with both Chelsea and Manchester City winning.

There are no changes in the standings, no one is left behind. It looks like the league won't be able to tell the winner until the final round.

Manchester United will now have to focus on the Champions League. The first leg of the semi-finals is at home to Barcelona.

This is a more difficult match. Barcelona also had a horrible home score this weekend.

6:0 sweep of Zaragoza.

Although the opponents were not very strong, Barcelona also showed strong dominance. He had 75 per cent possession, 25 shots on goal, 15 hits to the woodwork, and would have conceded more had it not been for the Zaragoza goalkeeper's bravery. Zaragoza, on the other hand, had just one shot on goal in the whole game.

MSN scored a brace each in the game, with Messi, Suarez and Neymar all in red-hot form.

The Times bluntly said: Next week's Champions League semi-final will be a Mars collision with the Earth. The clash between Barcelona and Manchester United will be the most exciting game of the season.

However, the Spanish media are still more optimistic about Barcelona, and Le Monde Sport believes that MSN's form is enough to ensure that the team can score at Old Trafford, and they will definitely show their best attacking form. The Board faces one of the most important and weak battles of the season. One person can never beat a team.
