Arsenal scored from two corners to earn a 2-0 victory over Manchester United and you can watch the highlights below.
Arsenal Set Pieces Prove Too Much For Red Devils
Ruben Amorim’s starting eleven shocked several Manchester United fans as the Portuguese coach decided to drop Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee despite the pair scoring braces against Everton.
However, his selections appeared to be justified as United frustrated Arsenal in the opening 45 minutes with neither side creating many chances.
The Gunners, who are one of the favourites to win the league on UK betting sites, did come close to breaking the deadlock as Bukayo Saka wriggled his way down the right-hand side and almost forced Harry Maguire to score an own goal.
As the game progressed United started to show some new signs under Amorim, pressing high up the pitch but were lacking that final pass.
Neither side managed to hit the target in the first half and the match was goal-less going into the second half.
Arteta’s side looked like they were going to take the lead just minutes after the restart, but Thomas Partey failed to convert from close range.
However, the Gunners broke the deadlock in the 54th minute from yet another corner, as Jurrien Timber rose highest to flick the ball into the net at the near post.
Under 20 minutes later Arsenal doubled their lead from yet another corner, with Partey connecting at the back post to head across goal and William Saliba turned it goalwards.
The visitors showed little sign of life after the second goal, with their best chance falling to Antony who saw his strike comfortably saved by David Raya.
The match dwindled from that point onward and Arsenal held on to their two goal lead and kept within touching distance of table-topping Liverpool.
