A big game against Manchester United was a perfect opportunity for Mikel Arteta’s men to show they are worthy of the first place and to extend their lead to five points over City, and all but excluding the Red Devils as the title contender in the process. And they did it in spectacular fashion, coming from behind and scoring the winner after Martinez provided another setback: Arsenal – Manchester United 3-2.In a thrilling match full of goals and chances, Gunners were deserved winners even thou they needed 90 minutes to finish off the Red Devils, but it shouldn’t have been so nerve-wrecking. They had more chances and were dominant, but lack of concentration from Saka and Odegaard as well as David De Gea allowed United’s fans to hope for a draw. They didn’t get it due to Edward Nkeitah’s form. The young striker came in when Gabiel Jesus was injured an thrived ever since. He scored the equalizer after Rashford scored a thrilling goal to take the lead, and then acted like and old pro in the 90th minute and scored a winner.
