Arsenal's record signing Declan Rice opened his Arsenal account with a goal deep in stoppage time before Gabriel Jesus wrapped up a thrilling 3-1 victory against Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.

It looked as though both sides would have to settle for a point when United had a late goal disallowed after Arsenal had earlier seen a penalty overturned, but Rice sent the home fans into delirium with a deflected shot in the 96th minute.

"I think I controlled it with my chin and just had a shot, if you don't shoot you don't score," Rice told Sky Sports. "Everything went against us today but the performance was alright. I didn't see that as offside but it is what is," United manager Erik ten Hag said. United had barely made it out of their own half and appeared content to frustrate Arsenal but Christian Eriksen launched their first attack with a precise pass to Marcus Rashford who cut in and lashed a right-foot shot past Aaron Ramsdale.

It looked a fair decision at the time but referee Anthony Taylor was instructed to check a pitch-side monitor and deemed that Wan-Bissaka had made little contact.
