Arsenal, leader of the Premier League with plenty of victories and the opportunity to extend their mattress to four points after Manchester City’s stumble, against Erik ten Hag’s nascent Manchester United, winner in the three previous duels. There are novelties in these ‘red devils’ that are beginning to be routine. Like seeing Cristiano Ronaldo screwed to the bench, and it’s been four games. At his side Casemiro, who has not yet been a starter. Instead, Antony made his debut at the first change. He did not weigh the price or the scenario to the Brazilian winger, ready to race and overflow. With personality to throw a backheel that, after Dalot’s center, Eriksen kicked a volley near the post. United’s start was torrential. Aggressive in the remove, handcuffed the ‘gunners’, with Eriksen in charge of operations. But Arsenal needed a blink to score. Saka set up for Martinelli’s runaway run behind the local defense and the Brazilian beat De Gea with a chopped shot. Fortunately for Ten Hag’s men, the referee annulled the goal at the request of the VAR due to a foul by Odegaard at the start of the action. The frustrated goal altered the tables. Arsenal took over the leather and pushed the ‘red devils’ back, supported by De Gea’s reflexes in two Martinelli shots. As had happened the other way around minutes before, when the Londoners were at their best, United’s goal came in a fleeting transition.

Saka, with a shot crossed excessively by a pin and a poisoned center that spat out the crossbar, and Odegaard, who shot bitten in a frank position, stayed close. Already with Cristiano on the pitch replacing Antony, the ‘Gunner’ perseverance found a reward on the hour of play. Odegaard drew a great pass for Gabriel Jesus and Saka, attentive to the rebound inside the area, equalized with pleasure. The Mancunian reply was devastating. Bruno took out a square and bevel to plant Rashford against Ramsdale. The definition of the battering ram, of puntín, found the network.

However, the joy of the ‘red devils’ was not complete, since the English bigoleador and Lisandro Martínez withdrew with physical problems. The only downside in the afternoon that returned the illusion to Old Trafford.
