Arsenal secured a fourth win in a row with a 2-0 victory over Manchester United. The Gunners got off to a decent start and had the ball in the net early through Gabriel Martinelli, only for the offside flag to go up.
Thomas Partey then spurned a superb chance from a corner. This was to be the last event of note in a poor-quality first half. Arsenal upped the ante after the break, though, and after chances for Martinelli and Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber eventually nodded them in front from a corner.
The Gunners had a few more chances from open play for the likes of Kai Havertz. But it would take another corner to secure the three points as Partey’s back post header bounced in off William Saliba’s backside.
The result sees Arsenal gain two points on Liverpool after Arne Slot’s side were held to a 3-3 draw by Newcastle.
