Arsenal made a huge statement of their Premier League title intent on Sunday, roaring back from behind to beat in-form Manchester United 3-2 in front of a raucous Emirates crowd.
Eddie Nketiah scored the winner in the 90th minute of a pulsating encounter to spark wild celebrations, as Mikel Arteta's men restored their five-point lead at the top of the table.
"It doesn't get much better than that," Arteta told Sky Sports."The second half especially, the performance was incredible. United midfielder Scott McTominay replaced Brazil's Casemiro, who was ineligible after picking up a fifth booking of the season in his side's midweek draw with Crystal Palace, with loan signing Wout Weghorst again leading the line.
But it was United who broke the deadlock in the 17th minute in stunning style, when Bruno Fernandes found Rashford, who skipped past Partey with ease and powered a low drive into the corner of the net from 25 yards. Arsenal were again first to threaten after the break, pouring forward in search of another goal and they took the lead in the 53rd minute.
United were close to holding out for the draw but Arsenal took all three points when Nketiah poked home his second of the afternoon after a lengthy VAR check ruled him onside.
