Gary Neville was left in shock on Sky Sports commentary after what he saw one Manchester United player produce in their stunning 3-2 victory against Arsenal.
Carrick shocks Arsenal to win two from two
Matheus Cunha scored a stunning late goal as Man United completed a thrilling 3-2 comeback win at the Emirates to dent Arsenal’s Premier League title bid.
Having seen both Manchester City and Aston Villa win to reduce their championship advantage to four points, Arsenal took a deserved lead in the 29th minute when United defender Lisandro Martinez put the ball through his own net.

However, Bryan Mbeumo capitalised on a horror backpass by Martin Zubmendi to draw United level before Patrick Dorgu unleashed a stunning strike five minutes after half-time.
Mikel Merino looked to have rescued a valuable point for Arsenal when he prodded home from a corner with six minutes to go.
But substitute Cunha delivered his side’s second stunning goal of the evening only three minutes later as Michael Carrick landed his second win in as many matches as United’s interim manager.
Arsenal’s defeat at an anxiety-ridden Emirates – their first in the league in front of their own supporters this season – is set to cast significant doubt over their hopes of ending their 22-year wait for the title.
It's now two wins from two for Michael Carrick, who has got off to an incredible start since becoming interim manager. Not even the most optimistic Man United fans would have been expecting six points from six against Manchester City and Arsenal, but that's exactly what Carrick has produced.
Neville was particularly impressed by one star after he produced a "sensational" moment.
Neville shocked by "sensational" Dorgu
The Old Trafford legend couldn't believe what he was seeing from Patrick Dorgu after the left-back, turned clinical left-winger, struck from range to score one of the goals of the season.
Reacting to the goal, Neville said: "What have we just seen? That goal was sensational."
The former Lecce man has been one of the biggest revelations at Man United as of late, and followed his goal against Man City with another statement strike against Arsenal.
Back into the Premier League's top four and on course to secure Champions League qualification, it's so far so good for Carrick, who arrived with that exact goal in mind.
