Eddie Nketiah went on to restore parity for the hosts, before Bukayo Saka made it 2-1 shortly after the interval.
However, the Gunners were unable to protect the lead, as Lisandro Martinez equalised for United soon after.
Nketiah managed to grab his brace with a few seconds left, as the hosts stormed to a crucial win.
Keane blames Wan-Bissaka
While on punditry, Keane singled out Wan-Bissaka for blame. The former defender slammed the United ace for his role in Nketiah's double.
Wan-Bissaka was at fault for both of Nketiah's goals, giving up possession for the first one after a short goal kick, before failing to defend the back post or even challenge the Arsenal forward.
The Gunner then had a free header to power home past David De Gea for his second goal.

Football"It’s just his lack of awareness," said Keane. "It’s as if he can’t believe that someone’s coming in the back of him but he can see him," Metro UK quoted Keane saying. "He just dozes off. It’s a lack of football intelligence, a lack of concentration."
Nketiah's goal was valid
Sports Brief has also reported that new images have shown that Nketiah's last-gasp strike to win the game for Arsenal was a valid goal.
His second for the night was marred by an offside controversy. New signing, Leandro Trossard released Oleksandr Zinchenko through on goal, who in turn fed Martin Odegaard in the area.
Odegaard's feeble attempt at goal was then turned in by Nketiah, but the Video Assistant Referee was called in to determine of the Arsenal star was out of position when he scored.
