Antony and Rashford give Arsenal a rude awakening at the Theatre of Dreams

Manchester United and Arsenal party like it’s 2003! One of the most iconic Premier League rivalries is alive and well – and today’s round belongs to the Red Devils!New boy Antony opened the scoring, and old talisman Marcus Rashford got a double as Erik Ten Hag’s men inflicted the first defeat of the season on high-flying Gunners.It was a classic match at Old Trafford in which both teams showed the best they’ve got.The new signing from Ajax, Antony enjoyed a dream debut for the Red Devils when he found the net after being played in by Rashford. It was the stuff of dreams for United, who have previously survived a Gabriel Martinelli goal that was rightfully chalked off because of offside. It was a nice finish, though – pity it didn’t count.Arsenal get their reward for a spell of relentless pressure in this second half and it is Bukayo Saka scored the equalizer after a lovely move involving Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus. Diogo Dalot tried to clear it, but the ball fell to Saka to fire in.But this was a day for United. Captain Bruno Fernandes sliced Arsenal’s defence open with a sublime pass and Rashford broke free to tuck the ball in past Aaron Ramsdale.Arteta’s boys were still trying to recover from Rashford’s hit when another hit them. Bruno was instrumental once more with a great pass to release Cristian Eriksen. He outran everyone and squared the ball for Rashford to increase the lead to 3-1 and put Old Trafford in a state of ecstasy.VAR in the north, VAR in the southUnited win, and Arsenal taste defeat.
