What a game!
The clash between Arsenal and Manchester united was one of a kind. The final score was 3-1 to Manchester.
The game that took place at Arsenals arena last night lead to a big frustration of the arsenal team as well as the fans. The game started off with very high intensity. In the fourth minute of the match Valencia was able to net the ball to give United a 1-0 lead. Just a few minutes later Lingard was able to put the ball past the goalkeeper in the bottom left corner. After only 11 minutes Manchester were already 2-0 up. Arsenal managed to keep the ball in possession for the majority of the game and the final possession statistics were 76% to Arsenal.
In my opinion the hero of the game was De Gea, as he managed to stop 16 shots on goal. Arsenal had 33 shots in total before the final whistle, which is crazy as they only managed to get one goal.
In the 49th minute Lacazette managed to score, giving Arsenal a glimpse of hope for a comeback. However, only a few minutes later Lingard comes back and nets another one for the reds. Manchester united only had 4 shots on goal and 3 of those slipped in. It was clear that Arsenal was the better team, but they were not able to score. 12 corners, 33 shots, 76% ball possession and 16 shots on target lead to only one goal for the gunners.
Embarrassing for Arsenal, but thats how football is. Manchester are now making their way up the EPL table with 3 important points from the win.
