Leno relieved to see Arsenal end ‘Big Six’ hoodoo as German goalkeeper sets consistency target


 The Gunners shot-stopper kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Manchester United, with Mikel Arteta’s side collecting a rare elite scalp on the road

Bernd Leno admits Arsenal have spent “too long” toiling against the ‘Big Six’ away from home, with the hope being that a 1-0 victory over Manchester United will act as a springboard for the Gunners.


An unfortunate run stretching back to 2015 was finally brought to a close at the 30th time of asking on Sunday, with Mikel Arteta’s side collecting a narrow win on their latest visit to Old Trafford.


That venue has not been a happy hunting ground for the Gunners in recent times, with their last triumph on the red half of Manchester coming way back in September 2006.
