Manchester United produced one of the most sensational results of the Premier League season, coming from behind to beat Arsenal 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium. Michael Carrick’s interim side followed up their Manchester derby win with another statement performance, silencing the home crowd and shaking up the title race.
Super-sub Matheus Cunha sealed the victory with a stunning late strike, as United became the first team to score more than once at the Emirates this season.
Arsenal Strike First
The Gunners made a fast start and were rewarded in the 29th minute, when an unfortunate Lisandro Martínez own goal handed Arsenal the lead.
The home side looked in control early, but United refused to be overawed and slowly grew into the contest.
United’s First Fightback
United levelled through Bryan Mbeumo, who once again proved he is built for big moments. The winger has now scored against Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal this season.
Minutes later, Patrick Dorgu continued his fine scoring form, firing United into the lead. The flying full-back now has three goals in his last six Premier League games.
Late Drama at the Emirates
Arsenal thought they had rescued a point when Mikel Merino struck late to make it 2-2 in the 84th minute.
But the final twist was still to come.
Introduced from the bench, Matheus Cunha produced a moment of brilliance in the 87th minute, curling home a sensational winner to complete United’s comeback.

Maguire Leads the Way
