September 03, (THEWILL) – Arsenal earned a remarkable 3-1 victory against Manchester United with two stoppage-time goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus in an unforgettable match at the Emirates Stadium.
The clash between last season’s English Premier League runners-up Arsenal and the side that finished third, Manchester United, looked set to end in a 1-1 draw after Marcus Rashford had initially put the visitors ahead before Martin Odegaard quickly equalised for the hosts.
The match continued to captivate with intense action and knife-edge VAR decisions. A penalty awarded to the Gunners was overturned and substitute Alejandro Garnacho’s late goal for United was ruled out for offside after a VAR review.
Just when a draw seemed inevitable, Rice smashed in his first Arsenal goal from a Bukayo Saka corner off the boot of Jonny Evans to put the Gunners ahead in the 96th minute. Jesus then coolly added a third goal to seal a remarkable late victory for Mikel Arteta’s side.
It was a stunning climax to a thrilling match as Arsenal capitalised on late chances to secure an unforgettable 3-1 victory over Manchester United in stoppage time at the Emirates. They go into the international break the happier of the two sides while Erik ten Hag will be looking for improvements against Brighton and Hove Albion when the EPL resumes.
