"Having seen both Manchester City and Aston Villa win to reduce their championship advantage to four points, Arsenal took a deserved lead in the 29th minute when United defender Lisandro Martínez put the ball through his own net. However, Bryan Mbeumo capitalised on a horror backpass by Martin Zubmendi to draw United level before Patrick Dorgu unleashed a stunning strike five minutes after half-time."
"Arsenal's defeat at an anxiety-ridden Emirates -- their first in the league in front of their own supporters this season -- is set to cast significant doubt over their hopes of ending their 22-year wait for the title. Mikel Arteta's players have been bruised by finishing in second place in the league for the past three seasons. It started so well on Sunday when, fresh from handing a statement 3-1 Champions League defeat by Inter Milan, they made the breakthrough."
Manchester United overturned a 1-0 deficit to beat Arsenal 3-2 at the Emirates, with Matheus Cunha scoring a late winner. Arsenal initially led through an own goal from Lisandro MartÃnez after 29 minutes. United levelled when Bryan Mbeumo capitalised on a horror backpass by Martin Zubmendi, and Patrick Dorgu struck after half-time. Mikel Merino appeared to salvage a point from a corner, but Cunha's substitute goal three minutes later secured the victory. The result damages Arsenal's title prospects and gives Michael Carrick a second successive win as interim manager.
