Arsenal beat Manchester United 3-2 with a last minute decider in an exciting seesaw encounter
There is no feeling quite like the last-minute winner and the Emirates crowd revelled in it when Eddie Nketiah popped up with it. There would be a long VAR check for a possible offside in the buildup but when it was cleared, the celebrations were wild. As they would be upon the full-time whistle.
It was fast and furious at the outset, the atmosphere pulsating. Arsenal sought to bring a high press, to set a tone that involved being daring on the ball; Saka a prime example, especially when he dropped a shoulder on Christian Eriksen as the last man. It was a test of United’s composure. David de Gea suffered a couple of early wobbles on the ball.
Ødegaard shimmered with menace and he was involved in the equaliser, working the ball left to Granit Xhaka, who stood up a cross to the far post. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, on his wrong side, seemed unaware of Nketiah’s run behind him. The headed finish was straightforward, the goal made by the movement.It was breathless stuff, the duels enthralling – particularly Saka versus Luke Shaw. Ben White was booked for a scissors-style challenge on Rashford.and was substituted at half-time.
