Roy Keane heaped praise on Antony after Manchester United's newboy got off to a dream start in a Manchester United shirt by scoring his first goal for the club and putting United ahead.
The home side had started the game well with Jadon Sancho and Christian Eriksen going close in the opening stages. Arsenal settled though and from the moment Gabriel Martinelli's sensational goal was rules out for a foul on Eriksen in the build-up, The Gunners bossed much of the first half.
But Antony pounced on some sloppy Arsenal defending to smash the ball past Aaron Ramsdale in the 34th minute to give United the lead. And at half time, Roy Keane was full of praise for the new Manchester United star.

"It's some brilliant play, brilliant pass by Eriksen and good play from Rashford," said Keane, who was appearing on Sky Sports' coverage of the game.
"Straight away you're thinking Fernandes is in control, bit like the other night Rashford with a lovely weight of pass."
"And then Antony, it seems a big space left for him by the goalkeeper, but very good from United."
Continuing on, Keane spoke about how it was a dream moment for Antony, who joined the Red Devils in an £85 million move on transfer deadline day last week.
"What a start for him, brilliant, it was such a good chance for him, one touch finish"
"Brilliant start to his Man United career."
