Manchester United completed a sensational Premier League double over two title contenders as they came from behind to defeat Arsenal 3–2 at the Emirates Stadium, handing the Gunners their first home defeat of the season.
After beating Manchester City last weekend, Michael Carrick’s resurgent United once again proved they belong among the elite, producing a ruthless counter-attacking display that silenced North London and reignited the Red Devils’ top-four push.
For Kenyan football fans, this was a reminder that the Premier League remains the most unpredictable league in the world — and one of the most exciting to bet on via Bangbet Kenya.
First Half: Arsenal Dominate but United Strike Back
Arsenal started like genuine title contenders. They controlled possession, pressed high, and pinned United inside their half.
Leandro Trossard fired wide early on, while Martín Zubimendi came close with a towering header from Declan Rice’s corner, only for goalkeeper Senne Lammens to make a superb save.
The breakthrough finally came in fortunate fashion. A loose clearance from Patrick Dorgu fell kindly to Martin Ødegaard, whose effort deflected off Lisandro Martínez and into the net for 1–0 Arsenal.
But just as the Emirates erupted, a costly mistake changed the match.
Zubimendi’s poor back pass sent Bryan Mbeumo clean through. The forward rounded David Raya and calmly slotted into an empty net — 1–1, and suddenly United were alive.
Second Half: Dorgu’s Thunderbolt Stuns the Emirates
United returned from the break with belief and intent.
After neat link-up play with Bruno Fernandes, Patrick Dorgu unleashed a spectacular long-range strike that smashed the underside of the crossbar and flew in. The Emirates fell silent as United went 2–1 up.
Arteta made four changes immediately, but Arsenal looked shaken. United defended compactly and waited for their chance to strike again.
Late Drama: Goals, Chaos, and a Stunning Winner
With six minutes left, Arsenal finally responded. Bukayo Saka’s corner caused panic in the box, and Mikel Merino poked home from close range to level the game at 2–2.
But the drama wasn’t over.
Just moments later, Matheus Cunha picked up the ball outside the box and curled a magnificent strike past Raya into the top corner.
3–2 United. Game over.
The Red Devils secured their first league win at the Emirates since 2017, ending Arsenal’s 17-match unbeaten home run.
