**Arsenal continued its march in hunting down Liverpool, grabbing a 2-0 win over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.**
Arsenal continued its impressive run of form, beating Manchester United 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium to make it four wins on the bounce and four in a row over the Red Devils.
While the first half didn't live up to any high expectations, the Gunners were the better side in the second half and were rewarded thanks to their now famous set-pieces which again caused havoc.
With Gabriel sidelined, it was Jurrien Timber who got on the end of a Declan Rice corner kick to give Arsenal the lead just nine minutes after the restart, and 19 minutes later, Thomas Partey's header from a Bukayo Saka corner hit the back of William Saliba and made its way past Andre Onana.
No Gabriel, no problem.
The win was even more important with Newcastle stealing a point from leaders Liverpool in a 3-3 draw, meaning the gap closes to seven points.
Here are three takeaways from Arsenal's win over United.
Without Gabriel, many wondered if the Gunners would possess the same threat from set-pieces against United, but Nicolas Jover had some ideas.
Both goals came from corners with Timber flicking on Rice's corner before Partey, who stood at the back post as everyone rushed toward the front post, leaving him free and his header somewhat fortuitously hit Saliba and bounced into the next.
Arsenal's weapon was again on show.
