Manchester United and Arsenal played out a 1-1 draw in what was a end-to-end game. As usual, social media was a flood of thoughts. Let’s re-tell the story of the game through a series of tweets.
Phil Jones did a Phil Jones thing and Twitter blew up…

PaddyPower had their say on Ospina’s effort for the first goal…
Fabianski would have saved that.

Then, to compound Arsenal’s misery, a fly made it on TV…

One Arsenal account explained Manchester United’s tactics…

The second half started, and it was more of the same from Arsenal. Santi Cazorla in particular had a pretty shoddy game.
Cazorla’s passing today has been less accurate than a Caught Offside transfer rumour — JB™ (@gunnerpunner) May 17, 2015
One fan planned out Arsenal’s star players summers…
Ozil needs to spend the summer teaching Alexis how to pass and Alexis needs to spend the summer teaching Ozil how to shoot.

Then, from outta’ nowhere, a wild Walcott appeared…
GOAL! @theowalcott! 1-1 (82) #MUFCvAFC pic.twitter.com/3qFh3Q58L5 — Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 17, 2015
(Don’t tell the club account it was actually an own-goal.)
De Gea, did go off injured, and @BeardedGenius wanted the Manchester United team to pay a tribute to him, a la Gerrard.
