The Gunners on Sunday put up a brilliant performance, thrashing Manchester United 3-1 at the Emirates in the English Premier League. 

Mike Arteta’s side returned to winning after a poor draw against Fulham last week.

Marcus Rashfood gave United the lead in the 27th minute, stunning the home side. 

But the Gunners staged a quick comeback, as Martin Odegaard fired in an equaliser, cutting short United fans’ celebration in the 28th minute. 

Arsenal kept pushing and came close to doubling their lead, but Kai Havertz missed a clear chance, leaving both clubs at per into the first half break.

The home side, however, returned into the second half much stronger, pushing harder to grab all three points.

Garnacho thought he doubled United’s lead in the 88th minute, but VAR ruled it offside.

Then Declan Rice doubled Arsenal’s lead in the 96th minute, damaging United’s chance of sharing points at the Emirates.

With United pushing for a possible late-minute equaliser, they got exposed, leaving Arsenal another opportunity to score. 

Brazilian star Gabriel Jesus made it three for Arsenal, ruining United’s hope of an equaliser. 

Arsenal are fifth on the EPL log with 10 points in four games, while United are 11th on the log with six points in four games.
