Manchester United 3-1 Arsenal: Antony bags Debut Goal, Rashford hits Brace as Red Devils END Gunners Perfect Record

Manchester United made it four successive victories on the bounce, as they put an end to Arsenal’s 100% record in the league this season, by beating the Gunners 3-1 at Old Trafford.

Both sides began the game well but it was the visitors who took the lead through Gabriel Martinelli, but the referee chalked off the Brazilian’s effort after VAR had ruled that Christian Eriksen was fouled in the build-up.

The Red Devils soon opened the scoring through new signing from AFC Ajax Amsterdam, Antony who was making his debut for the club and he found the back of the net after being teed up by Marcus Rashford.

Arsenal soon equalized in the second half through Bukayo Saka, but Marcus Rashford netted a double as Erik ten Hag’s side moved up to fifth on the Premier League standings while the Gunners occupy top spot despite the defeat.
