Four Findings: Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United

Arsenal moved back into the top four with a 2-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday afternoon. 

The Gunners had a golden opportunity to make up some ground on Tottenham Hotspur following their shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Southampton on Saturday. 

Unai Emery named an attacking line-up, with Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette all starting. 

The Spaniard’s decision to play his most creative, clinical players paid dividends as Arsenal turned in a complete performance to condemn Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to his first domestic defeat as Manchester United’s interim manager.

Granit Xhaka opened the scoring as his long-distance drive caught David de Gea off guard, putting the Gunners in the lead. 

The second half saw plenty of pressure from the visitors, but Arsenal stood firm and doubled their advantage. Aubameyang scored a penalty after Fred brought down Lacazette in the area. 

Take a look at four findings from Arsenal’s 2-0 win against Manchester United.
