Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League has been trimmed to just four points following a thrilling 3–2 loss to Manchester United on Sunday evening.
The Gunners faced added pressure heading into the clash, knowing that both Manchester City and Aston Villa had secured victories earlier in the weekend. City defeated Wolves 2–0 at home, while Villa also claimed a 2–0 win over Newcastle United.
Arsenal took the lead in somewhat fortunate fashion in the 29th minute, as goalkeeper Martinez inadvertently deflected Martin Odegaard’s shot into his own net.
However, errors soon crept into Arsenal’s play. In the 37th minute, after William Saliba’s sliding challenge disrupted Bruno Fernandes, a poor pass from Zubimendi was intercepted by Mbeumo, who calmly rounded goalkeeper David Raya and slotted home to level the score.
