Manchester United claimed a 3-2 victory over Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Arsenal dominated proceedings early on, but it took them 29 minutes to break the deadlock.
Bukayo Saka showed close control to keep a cross in play and delivered the ball into the area. It deflected into Martin Odegaard’s path and the Norwegian’s effort was turned into the net by Lisandro Martínez.
United nearly got a quick response, as Bryan Mbeumo sent a delightful pass to Bruno Fernandes, but the Portuguese fluffed his lines.
United kept the momentum and restored parity through Mbeumo, who took advantage of Martin Zubimendi’s poor pass to slot beyond David Raya.
Before the interval, the Cameroonian, taking advantage of another loose pass, nearly completed the turnaround, lifting the ball over Raya, only for it to drift wide of the post.
United continued their momentum after halftime, and Patrick Dorgu’s superb strike gave them the lead.
The Denmark international combined with Fernandes before unleashing a powerful drive beyond the outstretched Raya.
Arsenal came close to levelling the scores down the other end, but Mbeumo made a last-ditch goalline clearance to avert the danger.
Substitute Mikel Merino restored parity for the hosts, firing a rebound home after United failed to clear their lines from a corner.
Moments later, Matheus Cunha made it 3-2, curling the ball into the bottom corner, sending the away side into delirium.
The defeat marked Arsenal’s first home loss this season and reduce their lead atop the standings to four points.
Meanwhile, United climb to fourth, sitting one point clear of fifth -placed Chelsea.
