EPL: Arsenal Struck Twice To Snatch Three Points From Man United

Manchester United were hit by two sucker punches in second-half injury time, as Arsenal came from behind to claim all three points at the Emirates Stadium.

Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock with a stunning 27th-minute strike – his first goal of the season – but our lead lasted for just 35 seconds, as Gunners captain Martin Odegaard rounded off a fine team move to level the score.

Arsenal were initially awarded a second-half penalty when Kai Havertz went to ground after running between Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro, but a VAR check led to referee Anthony Taylor overturning his own decision.

VAR later worked against United, when what seemed to be an 88th-minute winner by substitute Alejandro Garnacho was ruled out by the tightest of offside calls.

That controversial decision left the scoreline level as the game headed into injury time, and it was then that the Gunners struck twice, through Declan Rice with a deflected shot following a corner and Gabriel Jesus’s accomplished finish after the Brazilian sub broke clear from the halfway line.

Liverpool v Crystal Palace

Liverpool registered a third successive win in the Premier League as a stunning Dominik Szoboszlai strike was followed by a Matty Cash own goal and Mohamed Salah’s close-range finish.

An excellent afternoon’s work was marred only by a hamstring issue for Trent Alexander-Arnold that will require assessment.
