Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has criticised his players for their failure to get the job done in this evening's 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
The Red Devils took a first-half lead through Ander Herrera's sweetly-struck volley, before substitute Theo Walcott's effort deflected in off Tyler Blackett to salvage a share of the spoils for the visitors.
Arsenal upped the pressure following the restart after an underwhelming first-half showing which saw them fail to register a single shot, but Van Gaal believes that his players have only themselves to blame.
"You can say we are unlucky because it is the third deflected goal in a row and falls in our net," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "But I have said it is not unlucky to the players.
"You have to force luck by finishing games. We are one hour better and 1-0 ahead. You see Arsenal want to come back so you have to stick together and be compact.
"I have said Arsenal have maybe the best team but Chelsea can finish the game, which Arsenal cannot do and we can't either. That is important. This season we have only finished two games. It is a pity."
The draw leaves United trailing third-placed Arsenal by two points heading into the final week of the Premier League season.
