Manchester United Vs Arsenal

 Red Devils Vs Gunners 









1. Arsenal gets close to scoring: 


The visitors started the game by holding possession as the hosts were playing on the counter. Arsenal had an early chance to take the lead as Willian played a pass to Bellerin as the right-back played a fastball for Aubameyang, who had to stretch further to push the ball into the net. United had a good chance as Rashford played a brilliant through ball to Greenwood, who took the shot from a tight-angle prompting Leno to save. 


Arteta's men looked confident and seemed to be on the front foot. Arsenal had another chance to score as Lindelof made a crucial touch before Lacazette attempted to cut. The Gunners had another great opportunity as Lacazette played the ball to Willian as he played a one-two with Aubameyang. The former Dortmund man set-up Willian as the Brazilian winger curled from his weaker foot only for the ball to hit the bar. It seemed that Arsenal was bullying the hosts and had another great chance to score as Bellering played a cross to Saka, who failed to convert the header.








2. Visitors break the deadlock: 


The second-half began with United starting in a more threatening way. It looked like the hosts were keen on making an immediate impact as the visitors utterly outclassed them. United looked dangerous as they played smooth passes and were close to scoring as Greenwood set-up Wan-Bisaaka whose cross-shot deflected over the bar. Arsenal was close to scoring as they capitalized on Fred's error, allowing Lacazette to pick up the loose ball and set-up Aubameyang, who attempted to curl the ball towards the net only for it to go wide. Arteta's men opened the scoring as they won a penalty when Pogba tackled Bellerin and Aubameyagn made no mistake as he converted the spot-kick giving his side the lead.










In the end, the visitors claimed important three points and thoroughly deserved the victory. Arsenal began the game very strongly and looked dangerous while United looked to play on the counter. Aubameyang's further stretch could have opened the scoring for his side as he was set-up by Bellerin. United had a great chance to score as Rashford played a through ball for Greenwood, whose attempt was saved by Leno. Arsenal was denied as Lindelof's crucial touch thwarted Lacazette to score and were again close to breaking the deadlock as Saka failed to convert the header. One of the game's highlights was the partnership of El-Neny and Thomas Partey as both holding midfielder's looked solid and were commanding. The signing of Gabriel has given a certain sense of confidence as the center-back has been positive since he signed for Arsenal.








The second-half began with Manchester United beginning strongly and looked dangerous in the early stages as they played swift passes. Arsenal opened the scoring as they won a penalty thanks to Pogba's tackle on Bellerin. Aubamyegang made no mistake as he successfully converted the spot-kick to give his side the lead. United began to play all-out attack as Arsenal were keen to hold on to their lead. The Red Devils came close to equalizing as El-Neny attempted to block Van De Beek's cross as the ball hit the post, denying United to level the score.
