Arsenal sets Premier League record after win against Manchester United

Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United this evening marked a new record for the Gunners.

Under Mikel Arteta’s leadership, Arsenal secured a thrilling 3-1 win against the Red Devils, thanks to two late goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus.

The Gunners found themselves trailing for less than a minute, with Martin Odegaard quickly responding to Marcus Rashford’s strike.

Both teams remained evenly matched as Arteta’s side struggled to capitalise on their dominance. Moments after United had a goal disallowed for offside, Rice scored from a deflected shot at the back post following a corner.

Arsenal then clinched victory, with Gabriel Jesus scoring the goal that sealed United’s fate in the match. Following the game, Squawka revealed that Arsenal has now won three consecutive home games against Manchester United for the first time in their Premier League history.

Just Arsenal Opinion

We have established a new era of dominating this game when it is played at our home and we love it.

It took a lot of strength of character for us to win that match and it shows the boys are ready to be champions of England when this campaign ends next summer.

Hopefully, this win will kickstart our season and we will go on a long winning run now.

  1. Dominated whom and what exactly? Our performance is alarming! Saka needs to be benched to clear his head and I can’t believe im saying that but seeing havertz makes me miss xhaka more than missing Henry when he left!

    1. Exactly man,we didn’t dominate them, quite inverse to popular notion,I think ManU were the better attacking team,the changes Arteta made salvaged this win for us,that alone should tell Arteta he needs to check his line up again…Saka is becoming too predictable, Havertz continuous start is inexplicable & his exit really got the boys revitalized,. TOMIYASU did great on the left side too..

    2. Should always be contented with what you have. Every day is not a Christmas day. All we should hope for is for the team to gel well together though their final third results are abut worrisome notwithstanding kudos to these young squad. We pray they put more improved performance in their subsequent fixtures. Not to forget the back line are being proned to mistakes which the Coach must work seriously on

  2. Havertz needs to be dropped for a couple of games. He is currently offering nothing
    Hope Partey’s injury is not that bad. Atleast we have Jorginho in the worst case scenario.
    Viera is becoming a super sub for us. I think Trossard should also come on as a substitute during the late stages. He is quite tricky as well.

    1. I can see why the coach picks Havertz he gets himself into brilliant positions on the pitch but his passing and final touch badly let’s him down there is a brilliant player there but he needs a lot of work off the pitch. Fabio at this point in time offers the team so much more I mean 4th game in and he already have 3 assist

  3. Great win, great fight.

    Cons: Havertz missed a sitter, cost us a goal, dived for a penalty (and no, it was never a penalty). This guy is not a passenger anymore, he’s a liability. Vieira has 3 assists so far so I would play him.

      1. I don’t understand why it was overturned – can understand the ref not giving it in real time, but doesn’t it need to be a clear and obvious error for it to be overturned?
        Looked like havertz played for it, felt a touch and went down – it was debatable for me, not clear and obvious either way

    1. Not a dive; light contact, yes. But since the ref first gave a penalty he should have stuck to it because it was not a clear error on his part.

  4. Great win that papers over the obvious cracks. Kai Hervetz is just a square peg that doesn’t fit the system and Arteta needs to look at fluidity of the team when Kai is not on the pitch. The other bigger issue is the atrocious corners they keep on repeating. It’s like they don’t practice and doesn’t value it all.

    1. Great win,but the officials nearly cost us the match,hervalts foul was a clear penalty but yet they denied us yet again,I’m happy we finally won the though..

  5. Great win!

    We haven’t been at our best in the opening 4 games, injury crisis already, and integrating new players and tactics, yet that’s 10pts from 12pts.

    We’ve come in through our first real test in the league. Throw in the Community Shield as well, that’s unbeaten in 5, wins over City and Utd, a trophy!

    Completely unacceptable! Arteta out! 🙂

  6. Kai is unconfident, lazy, soft. I’ve never seen an AM who is so afraid to get the ball, takes no responsibility, and when he gets the ball can’t do anything creative, just passes it immediately to the nearest player. Does not press or offer much defensively in spite of being tall and strong, which again shows his laziness and softness. A huge downgrade from Xhake. And with this attitude, I don’t see him improving. If it’s a confidence issue he can still make more of an effort. An Ozil without the killer passes.

    1. problem is Viera is not at the level we need also. he is better than last season, and maybe better than Kai, but he also can’t press and can’t take on opponents. he can pass but usually when the game is more open, not in tight spaces when the opposition sits in a low block. ESR has to be even further off if he can’t play over Viera. Non of the three is really a top AM for a team that wan’t to play intensive high press high tempo game. maybe we can get back Patino in January after he gets 20+ games experience.
      shame we wasted 67m and huge wages on Kai instead of a proper MF and a Saka cover which we desperately need.
      I think winning RPL or CL is not going to happen with the quality of our squad. We face a challenge to maintain top 4. I think making 2-3 place, introducing Narawi and Walters, finding the right place for Kai in the team, and maybe getting one more good player in January, will put us in a good position for next season.

    2. Spot on bro. I tried today to figure out one good attribute of Kai but I couldn’t. Just like you said , he doesn’t want to get involved, he fears to even hold the ball, in fact he is a coward. I don’t even want to see him near arsenal because he offers nothing.

    3. Apart from being slightly less pug ugly than Ozil, I struggle to tell them apart.

      Both are/were, bone idle and passengers.

    1. being slow, predictable, almost not creating anything. the same as the last few games. this Kai experiment has to end. bench him until he ups his level significantly.

  7. Thank you Arsenal! I got the line up right and I also predicted Arsenal beating manunited with nothing less than two goals… Admin… I don’t know why some article are being deleted after been reviewed and commented by fans….

  8. What is Havertz doing in our team ?? I paid close attention to him in this game I couldn’t see any positive contribution, no winning mentality he must dropped & come on 2nd half if Arteta insist in playing him

  9. We should be very happy with the win today against utd. We were struggling for 90 minutes to beat a very ordinary utd but we won in the end and a MASSIVE win. A defeat or a draw would have been very damaging. Haverz was like a passenger and hard to justify why he keeps getting put in. Our play was so slow and deliberate before the subs were introduced. We are an hard watch at the moment but the ending was so damaging to Utd and great to see.

  10. Lots of abuse towards Havertz,yet no-one has mentioned the glaring miss by Saka from 6 yards.While we were not at our best we deserved to win a match which was not particularly high in quality.

    1. You are right but we can forgive Saka because it doesn’t happen often with him. But you can not point out anything that Kai brings or offers. Kai is a distraction to our fluidity. The earlier we drop him the better. Do you remember that Kai even missed a sitter in the first half, so there is just nothing good about him

    2. But Sakas was not the norm and he put a shift in. Grandad, please dont try and defend in any way, or compare what Haverz is bringing or more to the point not bringing to the team. He is taking a spot in the team of someone who could actually do something.

    3. GRANDAD “Not particularly high in quality”!

      I reckon, apart from the 12 mins of 8 added for injury time, that line of yours was a gigantic UNDERSTATEMENT!

      I THOUGHT THE GREAT BULK OF THE MATCH WAS ABYSMAL, BY BOTH SIDES.

    4. Saka gets a free pass for a few errors here and there because he usually contributes so, so much. Havertz has contributed zero; no, it’s negative contribution. He drags the team down whenever he’s in the line up.

  11. hat guts! We controlled the game whilst again looking slow and sloppy. If we can win when playing poorly then maybe the sky is the limit? So pleased for both Jesus (who needed it) and Rice. Ode and Martinelli (barring crappy corners) ran their hearts out bless them. Saka not good again, Havertz’s bad pass gave the goal away and he is simply not ready. Great pass from Vieira in his 15 minute cameo – he is ready but waited a season. Should he be the starter here? Missed Partey but good to see White back as RB.
    This maybe not the tactical or form victory, but for spirit alone this should kickstart our season. Wow!

  12. Well, we have got our defence back!

    Our forwards are scoring (eventually).

    We just need to fix the midfield, and we all know what that means.

    Saka is suffering from lottsa attention from the opponents, whoever they are.

    Notice Utd put Dalot at left back. Dalot is right footed, which meant every time Saka cut inside he was against Dalot’s preferred foot.

    I think Saka needs to practice going outside so when confronted by the Dalot’s of this world he will have another option!

    Still, a win is a win is a win!

    Let’s hope Arteta’s brain gets the better of his Ego, and Havertz gets acquainted with the bench for a while.
