Arsenal Humbles Manchester United

Mikel Arteta's side came from a goal behind to beat Manchester United 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium in a mouth watering encounter.

The gunners dream of lifting the premier league has been revived judging from their performance on Sunday dominating most of the match especially in the first half.

United were hit by two sucker punches in the second half injury time, as the gunners came from behind to claim all three points.

Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock with a sensational strike in the 27th minute-his first goal of the season-but the Red Devils lead lasted for just 35 seconds, as Arsenal's captain Martin Odegaard fired in a shot to level the score.

Arsenal were initially awarded a penalty in the second half by the referee Antony Taylor when Kai Havertz went to ground after running between Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka but it was overturned by the VAR.

The VAR later worked against Manchester when substitute Alejandro Garnacho 's 88th minute goal was ruled out for offside.

That controversial decision left the score line level as the game headed into injury time, and it was then that the Gunners struck twice, through Declan Rice with a deflected shot following a corner and Gabriel Jesus's accomplished finish after the Brazilian sub broke clear from the halfway line.

Manchester United will host Brighton next at the Old Trafford while Arsenal will travel to Goodison park to play Everton in their next premier league match after the international break.
