United, after taking a first-half lead through debutant Antony, were pegged back on the hour mark when Bukayo Saka pounced on some slack defending to grab a deserved equaliser for the Gunners. However, United, despite being under the cosh, produced a moment of magic to get their noses back in front just six minutes later.
