Man United traveled to Emirates Stadium in round 14 of the Premier League in the early morning of December 5. This is the first big opponent for coach Ruben Amorim since he took over the Red Devils' hot seat.
Arsenal are in great form. They come into this game having scored 13 goals in their last 3 games. The home side created clear chances in the first half.
Kai Havertz put the ball into Andre Onana's net but was offside, Thomas Partey unfortunately headed wide, then Martinelli's rebound went wide, preventing the Gunners from opening the score in the first 45 minutes.
Man United could not have direct attacks and had to wait until the 41st minute to have their first shot, when Diogo Dalot's shot went wide of David Raya's post.
In the beginning of the second half, from a corner kick taken by Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber slipped past Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund to open the score for Arsenal.
The lead was fragile but goalkeeper Raya played brilliantly to help the home team stand firm.
In the 73rd minute, Bukayo Saka crossed into the penalty area, the ball hit Saliba's back and landed in the net, bringing the total number of goals scored from corner kicks to 22 since the beginning of last season.
Two goals were enough to give Arsenal their fourth consecutive win over Man United for the first time in Premier League history. The result pushed the Red Devils down to 11th in the table, ending a seven-match unbeaten run.
