Arsenal wins an exciting game 3-1 against Manchester United at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon, improving their prospects of finishing in the top four this season.
Arsenal took an early lead just three minutes into their Premier League game After some poor defence from United.
Varane and Telles both took a swing at the ball as it comes into the area from the left flank, but both missed, and the ball falls to Saka at the back post.
Saka tries to flick it into the bottom left corner of the net, but De Gea saves it with a fantastic diving stop.
However, it lands right in front of Nuno Tavares, who makes it 1-0 with a tap-in from close range.
The Gunners doubled their advantage 29 minutes later when Saka stepped up to take a penalty and sent De Gea the wrong way by shooting the ball into the left side of the net to make it 2-0.
Arsenal’s joy was short-lived, as Manchester United equalized two minutes later. Cristiano Ronaldo beats Tavares and Gabriel to a superb cross into the penalty area from the left, firing the ball past Ramsdale and into the back of the net to make it 2-1.
4 – Cristiano Ronaldo is the fourth player to score 100 Premier League goals for Man Utd (also Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney) – the joint-most of any club (Liverpool also four). Elite. #ARSMUN

United will have De Gea to thank for making sure Arsenal scored only two goals in the first half, as he’s produced some fantastic stops to deny Elneny, Nketiah, and Odegaard scoring chances.
In the 70th minute, Xhaka extended the Gunners’ lead once more.
Elneny takes up the ball roughly 30 yards away, plays it to Xhaka to his left, and the midfielder drives his strike into the bottom right corner of the net. De Gea didn’t have a chance to stop it.
The goal came after Bruno Fernandes had earlier missed a penalty that would have tied the game for the visitors.
2 – Bruno Fernandes is the first Manchester United player to miss the target with two penalties in a single Premier League season since Teddy Sheringham in 1997-98. Stutter. #ARSMUN

He came so close to equalizing when he sent Ramsdale the wrong way, but his low strike smacked off the bottom left post.
