Mirror Sport reports on Arsenal’s 3-2 win over Manchester United. A late goal – in the 90th minute secured all three points for Arsenal – putting them five points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand.
Mirror SPORT says Eddie Nketiah’s 90th minute winner kept Arsenal on course for the Premier League title as they downed Manchester United late on.
The two sides both had to come from behind at different periods as the contest ebbed and flowed in north London, but ended with the Gunners firmly on top. The Red Devils remain the only team to beat the Gunners this term – and threatened to do so again when the in-form Marcus Rashford scored a sublime opener from distance.
Erik ten Hag’s celebrations highlighted the importance of the clash, but their lead was short lived as Eddie Nketiah levelled proceedings. Arsenal were able to dominate the midfield and took the lead in the second-half when Bukayo Saka cut-in before scoring in impressive fashion.
The hosts’ lead was similarly short-lived as the bandaged Lisandro Martinez scored a clever header in front of the away following to level the contest once more. It looked as if the contest would end level, but Nketiah sent the Emirates in raptures, after a VAR check, as he flicked home late on.
