English Premier League
Result: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal
Date: 01 November 2020
Venue: Old Trafford
Arsenal claimed their first Premier League win at Old Trafford in 14 years with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday night.
United had the first opportunity of the overall game when Marcus Rashford played a sumptuous ball around the back of Arsenal defender Rob Holding to the back post for Mason Greenwood, who let fly along with his left foot from an acute angle bringing an excellent save out of Bernd Leno along with his legs.
Arsenal were the medial side making more of the play and almost broke the deadlock when Willian played the ball down the medial side for Bellerin, who fizzed the ball in to the box but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang just couldn't can get on the end of it.
In the 39th minute, Willian and Aubameyang exchanged passes on the edge of the region, with the latter flicking a pass towards the Brazilian, who curled a left-footed shot towards the far post which clipped the very best of the bar prior to going over.
The Gunners were bossing possession and had another superb chance to take the lead in the 44th minute when Hector Bellerin whipped a wonderful ball in to the box which an unmarked Bukayo Saka headed inches wide when he must have hit the trunk of the net.
In the next half it had been United who were dominating possession but the visitors had the first opportunity of the second period. Alexandre Lacazette dispossessed Fred and then slid in Aubameyang, who ran round the pass and then attemptedto curl one in to the far corner past De Gea nonetheless it just went the incorrect side of the post.
Arsenal won a penalty in the 68th minute when Paul Pogba clipped the trunk of Bellerin's ankles as the full-back looked to can get on the finish of Willian's throughball and Aubameyang sent De Gea the wrong way, ending a run of five Premier League games with out a goal.
The hosts were pressing hard for an equaliser and with 5 minutes to go of regular time Donny van de Beek's shot deflected off Mohamed Elneny and came off the face of Bernd Leno, to the bar and out to safety with the Arsenal keeper knowing hardly any about any of it as Arsenal held on for the three points.
