How Man United downed Arsenal at Old Trafford

Erik ten Hag named a strong squad for their home match against the Gunners, with summer arrival Antony making the starting XI.

The Brazilian winger went on to mark his debut with a goal as he found the back of the net in the 35th minute by steering a precise first-time shot into the far corner after he was set up by Marcus Rashford.

Bukayo Saka went on to equalise for the north Londoners on the hour-mark after he was set up by Martin Odegaard, only for Rashford to restore United's lead six minutes later.

The English forward made it 3-1 for the hosts in the 75th minute after a beautiful build-up involving Diogo Dalot and Christian Eriksen.

Arsenal's efforts to get back into the match proved futile, with United holding firm to their lead to claim maximum points.

Despite the defeat, Arsenal remain top of the standings with 15 points, a point ahead of second-placed Man City.
