Manchester United vs Arsenal – Live Scores & Commentary – 4th September 2022 – English Premier League
Manchester United made it four Premier League wins in a row for the first time since April 2021 as they ended Arsenal’s perfect start to the season. Marcus Rashford netted twice in the second half to round off a 3-1 victory for the hosts, a result that leaves them just three points off top spot in the table.
An action-packed first half saw early chances missed at both ends, as Christian Eriksen fired off target for the hosts and William Saliba sliced wide for the Gunners. The visitors then thought they had taken the lead when Gabriel Martinelli slotted into the back of the net, only to be ruled out by VAR for Martin Ødegaard’s foul on Eriksen in the build-up.
Arsenal was beginning to dominate, and only a full stretch stop from David de Gea kept out Martinelli’s powerful back-post header. But that save paved the way for United to take the lead on 35-minutes, as referee Paul Tierney played an excellent advantage following a clear foul on Bruno Fernandes, a decision which paid off when Rashford prodded through to Antony, who opened his body and curled a debut goal into the far corner.
Mikel Arteta’s side regrouped and started brightly after the break as Bukayo Saka hooked wide of the far post from a narrow-angle. The England international then clipped the bar with a cross that had de Gea back-pedaling, before eventually making it third time lucky when equalizing on the hour mark by firing through Lisandro Martínez’s legs from inside the box.
Parity did not last long, however, as Fernandes’ sumptuous through ball was coolly finished by Rashford just minutes later, with the striker rounding off a lightning-quick counter-attack. Aaron Ramsdale then stopped Fernandes from doubling the lead, but Rashford grabbed his second to put the game to bed a quarter of an hour from time, finishing into an empty net from Eriksen’s unselfish pass.
