19:43 – The summary of the match: Manchester offers Arsenal
Manchester United received Arsenal on Sunday at the end of the 6th day of the Premier League with the desire to chain a fourth consecutive victory after a complicated start to the championship. But against the London club, undefeated leader of the PL, the Red Devils are struggling, despite encouraging first minutes. The Gunners believed to take the advantage by Gabriel Martinelli (12th) before seeing this goal refused by the referee, Mr. Tierney. Martinelli also saw De Gea divert a powerful header (32nd), just before Antony scored the first goal of his career with Manchester United (35th), for his first appearance. Dream beginnings but which do not obscure the domination of Arsenal.
In the second period, Mikel Arteta’s players continued the siege of David De Gea’s goal and ended up finding the fault through Bukayo Saka (60th). And while we think that the last half hour could be long for the Red Devils, it is finally them who will strike twice in a few minutes. By taking advantage very well of the high defense of the Gunners, the men of Erik ten Hag allow Marcus Rashford to score twice and knock out the meeting (66th and 75th). Enough to bring down Arsenal, which still retains the leading position in the standings. MU goes back to 5th place.
19:34 – First loss of the season for Arsenal
This defeat at Old Trafford (3-1) is the first of the season for Arsenal, which had so far made a perfect start with five wins in five games. A setback for the players of Mikel Arteta, who however did not deserve this Sunday. The Gunners remain in first place in the Premier League, however, and host Everton next weekend, after a trip to Zurich on Thursday in the Europa League.
19:28 – Fourth win in a row for Manchester
After two defeats in the first two Premier League games, Manchester United has raised the bar well and has just signed its fourth straight victory in the league with this success against Arsenal this Sunday (3-1).
