Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have got the better of Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Although Manchester United took the lead through Marcus Rashford in the 27th minute, Arsenal came back strongly and won the match 3-1 in the end.
Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus scored the goals for the North London club.
Norway international attacking midfielder Odegaard scored in the 28th minute.
England international midfielder Rice found the back of the net in the sixth minute of injury time.
And then in the 11th minute of injury time, Brazil international forward Jesus made it 3-1 to Arsenal.
Arsenals fans certainly enjoyed the performance and the win, and there was another moment when the Emirates Stadium faithful had real fun.
It was the introduction of Harry Maguire.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag did not include Maguire in the starting lineup against Arsenal.
It was always unlikely that Ten Hag was going to bring on the England international centre-back.
However, the United boss was forced into putting Maguire on the pitch.
