"Arsenal failed to restore their seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League as Matheus Cunha played the role of super sub in Manchester United's 3-2 win at Emirates Stadium. Wins for title rivals Manchester City and Aston Villa put the pressure on Mikel Arteta's team, and they appeared nervous throughout Sunday's game. Ultimately, they were punished by some masterful finishing from United."
"Arsenal did strike first in the 29th minute, albeit in fortuitous fashion as Lisandro Martinez sliced his attempted clearance from Martin Odegaard's shot into his own net. However, mistakes crept into Arsenal's game from there and in the 37th minute, Martin Zubimendi's ill-advised pass was intercepted by Bryan Mbeumo, who rounded David Raya to score his 50th Premier League goal."

United climbed to fourth; Arsenal's lead fell to four points.
