LONDON (Reuters) - Manager Arsene Wenger said a poor start sabotaged Arsenal's hopes of extending a 12-match home winning run in the Premier League as they went down 3-1 to Manchester United on Saturday. Their winning sequence, their best at home for 12 years, began in April against West Ham United. "I think we didn't start well at all at the back and we are guilty of that," Wenger, who has won only twice in 19 clashes with United's manager Jose Mourinho, told reporters. Defeat was a bitter pill for Arsenal to swallow after three successive victories had helped to rekindle a sense of optimism after a mediocre start to the season. I am proud of their commitment and attitude, I feel sorry for the players that gave so much."
