Manchester United and Arsenal played out a rip-roaring draw as Jose Mourinho's men twice responded to freakish goals and secured a share of the spoils against Unai Emery's side.

Neither Sir Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger were involved in the fixture for the first time since 1986, but the former was in the stands for an encounter as entertaining as some of the memorable clashes during their Premier League duopoly.

Anthony Martial levelled shortly after David De Gea's uncharacteristic mistake saw Shkodran Mustafi open the scoring in the first half at Old Trafford, where Jesse Lingard secured a 2-2 draw just 75 seconds after substitute Alexandre Lacazette squeezed Arsenal back into the lead.

It was a frantic, and at times feisty, encounter at Old Trafford, which saw Emery's Arsenal rack up a 20th unbeaten game in all competitions as another winless league match leaves United off the pace in the top-four hunt.

Re-live the action below:

Proceedings resume at Wembley and Old Trafford.

Aaron Ramsey has had to be withdrawn. Henrikh Mkhitaryan replaces him against his former club.

GOAL! Burnley 1-1 Liverpool (James Milner, 62 minutes)

James Milner finds a nice finish 18 yards out after being found by Divock Origi.

Liverpool back on level terms.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:06

GOAL! Wolves 2-1 Chelsea (Jota, 63 minutes)

Wolves have turned things around!

Jota scores from close range at the far post, and it is 2-1 to the hosts at Molineux.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:06

GOAL! Tottenham 2-0 Southampton (Lucas Moura, 52 minutes)

His first effort is repelled, but Lucas Moura makes no mistake with his second.

Spurs 2-0 up and going third as things stand.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:08

GOAL! Tottenham 3-0 Southampton (Heung-Min Son, 55 minutes)

An assist for Harry Kane, a goal for Heung-Min Son and Spurs are moving out of sight of their visitors.

A virtual tap-in finished with aplomb by the South Korean. 

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:11

GOAL! Burnley 1-2 Liverpool (Roberto Firmino, 68 minutes)

Liverpool lead!

Virgil Van Djik squares for Roberto Firmino, who provides the finishing touches on Liverpool's second.

Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 56 minutes

Lucas Torreira is in a little discomfort but will continue. Arsenal have already lost two to injury this evening so that will please Unai Emery.

The crowd are starting to liven, and Diogo Dalot breaks completely free down the right.

Dalot looks confused by the amount of space he is afforded and plays a nothing cross. He does win a corner, but Arsenal clear it.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:16

GOAL! Fulham 1-1 Leicester (James Maddison, 73 minutes)

Demarai Gray and Shinji Okazaki combine to create the opportunity for Maddison, who continues his goalscoring form by finding the bottom corner.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:17

Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 62 minutes

Sead Kolasinac twice breaks beyond the right side of the Manchester United defence but can't find a teammate on either occasion.

Kolasinac is down, too, as is Anthony Martial. Alexandre Lacazette is stripped and ready to come on.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:22

Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 64 minutes

Martial is done.

Looks like something muscular for the Frenchman. His birthday ends in a sadder fashion than Martial would have hoped. Romeu Lukaku comes on.

And here's Lacazette. Alex Iwobi jogs off.
