Mikel Arteta earns his first win as Arsenal boss as the Gunners produce a powerful first-half performance to beat a lacklustre Manchester United.
Nicolas Pepe scored his fifth goal of the season and also hit the post before he was substituted
That led to a first half in which the hosts were in control and Pepe hit the post before they doubled their lead when his corner was smashed in from close range by Sokratis Papastathopoulos. The defeat leaves them fifth in the table, five points behind Chelsea, who drew with Brighton earlier in the day.
This was a different game altogether, though. With Granit Xhaka, who has been linked with a move to Hertha Berlin, restored to the midfield, the Swiss and Lucas Torreira were quicker to the tackle than their opponents.After scoring early on, he sent United left-back Luke Shaw halfway down the Holloway Road with a sharp turn before setting up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who sliced a volley over.
