United came down from the clouds towards Arsenal

Liverpool fell at Old Trafford on the third matchday and now Arsenal is (3-1). A vertical and lethal Manchester United attack by star Bruno Fernandes ended the ‘gunners’ full points, suspended their first major test of the season but remain top, now Manchester City and Tottenham hot on the their heels.

Erik ten Hag, United manager, gave Antony his debut from the first minute, while again leaving Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench. Given the outcome of the game, he was right in his choice.

VAR canceled out a Martinelli goal

The ‘red devils’ began to dominate the game with several minutes of good football but Arsenal scored on a quick counter through Gabriel Martinelli. The referee, after consulting VAR, called it off for Martin Odegaard’s earlier foul on Christian Eriksen in midfield before Bukayo Saka left his teammate alone with a fine pass.

Paradón de De Gea and Antony opened the scoring

The ‘gunners’, guided by the baton of an outstanding Odegaard, began to control the ball as the minutes ticked away and David De Gea prevented Martinelli’s header from reaching the net with a save after a fine cross from distance Odegaard’s post.

But on the next play, and when they looked more dominated, United scored on a well-worked counterattack started by Bruno Fernandes and debutant Antony beat Aaron Ramsdale after leaving Marcus Rashford alone with a perfect assist (35′).

The Brazilian winger, recently signed from Ajax for 95 million euros, began to amortize his huge investment and ended his debut on a high note because, in addition to the goal, he showed self-confidence in a heel that raises the stands and it does. looks like he won’t go despite the high acquisition cost.

Arsenal dominate and draw

The beginning of the second half is the opposite of the first. Pressed to score, Arsenal dominated the game with personality against a retired United side. Odegaard and Saka had equalized twice before, with Cristiano Ronaldo on the field in place of Antony, both managing the equalizer (59′).

Odegaard fed the golden ball to Gabriel Jesus, Raphaël Varane prevented him from scoring, but the clearance fell to Saka, who equalized into an empty net.

Rashford’s remarks with a double fight

Arsenal pressed on, but United took advantage of their crushing verticality again today with Bruno Fernandes prominent again, putting a great pass into space for Rashford, who faced Ramsdale alone and beat him (66′).

Arteta took a risk with a triple offensive change that gave the entry to Emile Smith Rowe, Fabio Viera and Eddie Nketiah, but he did not have time to verify the correctness of his decision because seconds later United were sentenced to take advantage of gaps left by Arsenal again in defence. .

Bruno Fernandes, himself, again, started the counterattack again by launching Eriksen, who stood against Ramsdale and gave the goal on a plate to Rashford (75′).

United, fifth after four straight wins

United, after losing the first two games, won the next four and are now fifth in the Premier League, just three points behind Arsenal. The defeat brought the ‘gunners’ back to reality, who have failed to show leadership and the title race is tightening after the first six days.
