Arsenal have responded to their poor return from the international break with two huge wins on the bounce. A victory against Chelsea in midweek was followed up by a 3-1 win over Manchester United on Saturday.
Goals from Nuno Tavares, Bukayo Saka and Granit Xhaka cancelled out Cristiano Ronaldo’s finish to hand Mikel Arteta an important three points in the race for a top four finish this season. It lifts them to fourth in the league, temporarily over Tottenham who play later.
One player who had a mixed game is Tavares, who filled in at left-back in the absence of the injured Kieran Tierney. The Portuguese full-back started the game well, firing in the first goal from a rebounded David de Gea save in the opening minutes.
