Manchester United and Michael Carrick continue to be in dreamland as two stunning strikes saw them topple over the league leaders in their own backyard with a 3-2 win.
Arsenal put Man Utd under pressure from minute one but the away side largely kept them at bay by staying solid until their resistance was broken near the half-hour mark via Lisandro Martinez’s own goal.
United responded well to the setback, however, and grew into the game, which was rewarded as Bryan Mbeumo pounced on an error by Arsenal to score the equaliser as teams went into half-time all level.
Patrick Dorgu sent Man Utd fans into dreamland in the second half with an electric strike to stun Arsenal.

Man Utd player ratings vs Arsenal
Senne Lammens – 8
Good save off a free-kick and exuded calmness on set-pieces in sharp contrast to what Man Utd fans saw from Altay Bayindir in the reverse fixture.
Diogo Dalot – 6
A bit too eager at times which led to sloppy moments but handled Arsenal’s movement well.

Lisandro Martinez – 7
Was having a good game until the Arsenal goal where he was caught doing nothing against Timber. Responded well to that setback and ended the game well.
Harry Maguire – 9
Consistent in the air, secure on the ground, and combative in duels. Was a masterful display that will go under the radar.
Luke Shaw – 7.5
Handled Saka extremely well by staying on his feet and defending diligently.
Casemiro – 7.5
Shielded the ball well and kept the spaces between the lines to a minimum to stifle Arsenal.
Kobbie Mainoo – 7.5
Not quite reached the heights of the Man City game as Arsenal pressed him relentlessly but he grew into the game.

Bruno Fernandes – 7
Missed a great chance in the first half but, as always, United’s attack flowed through him.
Amad – 7
Could be better in the last third but his set-piece deliveries caused plenty of danger.

Struggled to match the attacking heights of the last game and caused Arsenal’s opener with a soft header but all was forgotten when he pulled out a thunderstrike in the second half to put United ahead.
Bryan Mbeumo – 8.5
Big-game player stepped up again with a brilliantly taken finish to draw United level.
