Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal and Manchester United put on an entertaining encounter at the Emirates Stadium with the hosts coming out on top late on after Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus’s injury-time goals. The Gunners gained the early momentum and piled the pressure on Erik ten Hag’s men only for a quick counterattack to play Marcus Rashford in on goal.
He cut inside from the left wing and smoked a wonderful finish into the far side of the goal to send the visitors ahead in the first half. United barely had time to celebrate though before Arsenal swept down the left wing and the impressive Gabriel Martinelli pulled the ball into the middle of the box for Martin Odegaard to score the equaliser.
After the break Kai Havertz thought he’d won a penalty when he was clipped into the box by Aaron Wan-Bissaka but VAR overturned the initial decision on the field. Man Utd substitute Alejandro Garnacho thought he’d won the game two minutes before the end only for VAR to adjudge him offside.
Eight minutes of stoppage time were announced as Rice met a corner kick from Bukayo Saka, chested it down and his low effort beat Andre Onana. To cap off the performance Jesus added a third and decided the match in Arsenal’s favour.

90+4 mins: A frantic end to this game as Nelson has a couple of opportunities to deliver having just come on. He can’t find a man in an Arsenal shirt, however, and United can clear.

90 mins: Both sides have to recompose themselves as we head into the first of EIGHT minutes of stoppage time in the second half.
Nelson comes on for Martinelli.

88 mins: DISALLOWED! Huge drama at the death and what a let-off for Arsenal. Casemiro slides through Garnacho, who has only been on the pitch a matter of minutes but cooly slots it past Ramsdale.
He celebrates wildly - as do the United fans - with what they both think is the game-winning goal. But it’s not to be.
A VAR check ensues and the Argentine is just offside. Fine margins but we remain level at the Emirates.

87 mins: Hojlund bursts into the box and crumbles to the floor under intense pressure from the Arsenal defence. Erik ten Hag gesticulates furiously for a penalty but nothing doing for the ref or VAR.

81 mins: MISS! A big chance late on for Saka but he fires straight at Onana! It’s patient build-up from the home side, as they probe for their opening. Eventually, the ball is fired in low from White and finds Saka in all kinds of space. The goal is gaping but he can only fire straight at the keeper from about six yards out.

76 mins: Just under 15 minutes remaining in regular time as Arteta opts for a triple change. Nketiah makes way for the returning Jesus up top while Havertz is replaced by Vieira in midfield. Tomiyasu returns from his suspension to replace Zinchenko at left-back.

72 mins: Great work from Rashford down the left side as he drives into the box. United’s No.10 tries to pull it back to Hojlund but the striker can’t generate the space to get a shot on goal.

68 mins: CLOSE! Arsenal go close right after those changes from a set-piece. The ball drops to Martinelli but the Brazilian’s effort fizzes just wide of the post with Onana scrambling to his left.
Shortly after, there’s a yellow card for the United keeper who was taking his time with the goal-kick.
