Manchester United delivered a stunning blow to Arsenal’s Premier League ambitions with a dramatic 3-2 victory at the Emirates Stadium. Michael Carrick’s side followed up their recent win over Manchester City with another high-profile triumph, leaving Arsenal reeling from their first home defeat of the season.
Matheus Cunha stole the headlines with a brilliant last-minute strike, completing a five-goal thriller and sending United fans into ecstasy.
“𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒘𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒎,” 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅. “𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒇 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒍𝒆.”
Arsenal had initially taken the lead in the 29th minute with an own goal by United defender Lisandro Martinez. Brian Mbumo equalised after a sloppy backpass, and Patrick Dorgu fired United ahead shortly after the break. Mikel Merino briefly restored parity for Arsenal, but Cunha’s late masterpiece sealed the result.
United Title Race Intensifies After Shock Defeat
The loss leaves Arsenal with 50 points after 23 matches, but Manchester City and Aston Villa remain in hot pursuit with 46 points each. Meanwhile, Manchester United climb to fourth with 38 points, proving they are a dangerous force under caretaker manager Carrick.
“𝑾𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒏, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆’𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇,” 𝑪𝒖𝒏𝒉𝒂 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒎𝒆.
