Gunners manage to fire once as Man UTD quashes unbeaten, beats Arsenal 3-1

Manchester United ended Arsenal’s unbeaten run in the Premier League season via a thrilling clash that saw Antony score on his debut and Marcus Rashford hitting a quick-fire double after Bukayo Saka had equalised in the second half.

After a bright start by both teams, Arsenal thought they had struck first as Gabriel Martinelli finished a devastating counter-attack but the goal was ruled out by VAR for an earlier foul on Christian Eriksen.

From there Arsenal took control but the Gunners were torn apart by United on the break, as Rashford set up Antony to steer a first-time finish past Aaron Ramsdale for a debut goal following his €100m move from Ajax.

Arsenal responded after the break with chances through Martin Odegaard and Saka, before the England international fired a deserved equaliser on the hour-mark. It seemed as if Arsenal had the momentum, but they were hit with a counter-punch as Rashford raced away to restore their lead.

Rashford sealed the game with his second to confirm United’s fourth straight win and end Arsenal’s unbeaten start.
