Arsene Wenger concedes Arsenal are struggling to score goals

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has conceded his side have found it hard to score goals in recent weeks - and he is struggling to find a solution to the problem.
The Gunners are just two points off the top of the Premier League ahead of Sunday's trip to face Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Wenger saw his side blow the Red Devils apart with a scintillating start to their meeting at the Emirates Stadium in October - scoring all their goals in a 3-0 victory inside the opening 19 minutes.

But, with six goals in their last eight games in all competitions, such a performance has not looked close to materialising of late.
When asked why Arsenal have struggled to find the net of late, Wenger said: "That's a good question - and it's a bad answer.
"If I had an obvious answer - it's going through my head at the moment. I agree that our goals have dried up seriously and we have to find a solution. I'm conscious of that.
"There's many aspects that I analyse at the moment and we have to find a quick answer."
The 3-0 victory in north London on October 4 has been hailed by Wenger as their best result of the campaign so far - despite also beating Manchester City and Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium.
"We had a good performance," Wenger said.
"I think we took them a little bit by surprise and we played at a high pace from the start and closed down well early on. We need to play at that pace again.
"We had some good results at the Emirates, we beat City, we beat Bayern and United but it was maybe one of our best.
"I was surprised we were 3-0 up. You expect always a good performance."
