Arsenal drew 0-0 with Manchester United on Saturday evening, extending their unbeaten Premier League run to seven games.
The Gunners were hoping to claim a big win, but it just wasn’t to be for Mikel Arteta’s men on the night.
Nicolas Pepe flashed a couple of efforts wide of the spot, but Arsenal’s biggest chance came from a free kick.
Alexandre Lacazette whipped a superb effort over the United wall, and he rattled the woodwork as the Red Devils escaped.
That was desperately unlucky for the Frenchman, and many thought he would have another chance later in the game.
A free kick won on the left side seemed perfect for Lacazette to have another go – but full back Cedric stepped up to take it instead.
The Portuguese aced fired his effort over the bar, leaving Gary Neville absolutely baffled during his coverage for Sky Sports.
Neville (7:15PM) suggested that he didn’t understand why on earth Cedric was taking the effort, questioning why Lacazette was nowhere near free kick duties when he went so close to scoring – something Mikel Arteta may want to look at moving forward.
“You have to question… Lacazette’s took a brilliant free kick with his right foot 10 or 15 minutes ago, and Cedric then has that one on the edge of the box and Lacazette is nowhere near it – I don’t get it!” said Neville.
