'We didn't have an answer to anything they had'

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder, speaking to BBC MOTD after Monday's 6-0 home defeat by Arsenal: "Arsenal were outstanding. We didn't track runners and made it pretty easy for them to open us up.
"They cut us wide open. They are doing that to a lot of teams. I'm not saying that makes us feel better because that is another long night for this club.
"[Bukayo] Saka took us to pieces down that side. You have to try to stem the tide, especially when they are in full flow. When they get five at the top of the pitch, they find that pass and movement - then it is difficult to stop.
"We didn't have an answer to anything they had. The result is what the result is and we have to live with it."
