Arsenal remain outside the top four but heartened manager Wenger said: "We played our real game in the first half, real pace and real combination." Jose Mourinho left midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, the proposed makeweight in the Sanchez deal, out of his matchday squad and afterwards the United manager indicated the transfer saga was nearing an end. But Wenger warned: "Sanchez will only happen if Mkhitaryan comes here, that will be decided in the next 48 hours." Leicester City beat Watford 2-0 while West Ham and Bournemouth shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw.
