Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal and Manchester United put on an entertaining encounter at the Emirates Stadium with the hosts coming out on top late on after Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus’s injury-time goals. The Gunners gained the early momentum and piled the pressure on Erik ten Hag’s men only for a quick counterattack to play Marcus Rashford in on goal.
He cut inside from the left wing and smoked a wonderful finish into the far side of the goal to send the visitors ahead in the first half. United barely had time to celebrate though before Arsenal swept down the left wing and the impressive Gabriel Martinelli pulled the ball into the middle of the box for Martin Odegaard to score the equaliser.
After the break Kai Havertz thought he’d won a penalty when he was clipped into the box by Aaron Wan-Bissaka but VAR overturned the initial decision on the field. Man Utd substitute Alejandro Garnacho thought he’d won the game two minutes before the end only for VAR to adjudge him offside.
Eight minutes of stoppage time were announced as Rice met a corner kick from Bukayo Saka, chested it down and his low effort beat Andre Onana. To cap off the performance Jesus added a third and decided the match in Arsenal’s favour.
