Arsenal defeated Manchester United in an enthralling Premier League encounter to seize the initiative in the top-four race with a 3-1 victory on Saturday afternoon.
Bukayo Saka stole the show for the Gunners, setting up Nuno Tavares' third-minute opener before doubling the advantage from the penalty spot in the first half, after Eddie Nketiah was denied a goal for offside. Cristiano Ronaldo pulled one back for the Red Devils and also saw a strike ruled out for a narrow offside infringement in the second half.
That came shortly after Bruno Fernandes squandered a brilliant chance to equalise for United, only managing to hit the post with a lacklustre penalty conceded by goalscorer Tavares for handball. Arsenal made their visitors pay for this wasted opportunity as Granit Xhaka produced a breathtaking effort from range to claim all three points for the North Londoners.
