Despite enjoying a rather balanced game, Arsenal found themselves a goal down when Havertz sent a carless pass which was intercepted by Christian Eriksen who launched a United counter which inevitably ended with Rashford stepping in from the left and arrowing a right-foot shot in off the far post. A trademark move and his third in a row against these opponents.
United fans were not even done celebrating thier goal when Arsenal’s captain, Martin Odegaard found the back of the net after a lovely breakthrough by Michael Arteta’s team.
In a game packed with drama, United thought they’d won it themselves in the final minutes when Alejandro Garnacho broke free to score but a close VAR offside call denied him his moment.
It was Arsenal’s £105 man(Declan Rice) who delivered the second goal, after controlling a corner with his chest at the back post before blasting a deflected shot past a helpless Andre Onana.
His celebrations into the crowd were an iconic moment, adding another remarkable chapter to this Premier League rivalry.
Moments later Jesus sealed it, breaking away and then stepping inside Diogo Dalot to announce his goal-scoring comeback following an injury lay-off.
A thrilling finish to a match which leaves Arsenal with three wins from four and moves Mikel Arteta’s side up to fifth, just two points behind title rivals Manchester City.
