In a highly anticipated Premier League clash on Wednesday night, Arsenal delivered a decisive 2-0 victory over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners’ dominance in the second half secured them a crucial three points, propelling them to third place in the 2024/2025 Premier League table with 28 points.
Meanwhile, Rúben Amorim’s Manchester United side slumped to 11th with 19 points, continuing their inconsistent campaign.
The breakthrough came in the 54th minute when Jurrien Timber opened the scoring with a clinical finish, courtesy of a perfectly placed assist from Declan Rice.
Arsenal maintained their control, and the second goal arrived in the 73rd minute.
A corner taken by Saka, sees Thomas Partey getting the ball to William Saliba, who rose to the call and slipped the ball into the net, leaving United’s defence helpless.
Despite efforts from United to stage a comeback, Arsenal’s defensive solidity and midfield dominance ensured a clean sheet.
The victory reinforces Arsenal’s bid for a title challenge, while United’s struggles under Amorim raise questions about their consistency this season.
Arsenal will now look to build on their momentum, while United must regroup quickly to keep their European qualification hopes alive.
