Manchester United on Sunday humbled league leaders Arsenal with a 3-2 defeat on their home turf, securing a memorable win with two brilliant strikes.
The match began with Arsenal asserting control, applying pressure from the start, but Manchester United held firm with solid defensive play.
However, Arsenal broke the deadlock just before the half-hour mark through an unfortunate own goal by Lisandro Martinez, who deflected a cross past his own goalkeeper.
United, undeterred by the setback, responded positively and began to find their rhythm.
Their persistence paid off when Bryan Mbeumo capitalised on a defensive mistake by Arsenal, slotting home the equaliser just before the break, sending both teams into halftime level at 1-1.
The second half saw United take the lead with a stunning strike from Patrick Dorgu, whose powerful shot left Arsenal’s defence rooted to the spot.
As the match approached the climax, Mikel Arteta’s side managed to pull level once more with a scrappy goal from a corner kick, a trademark method of attack for the Gunners.
But the drama wasn’t over. Just as Arsenal looked to be gaining momentum, United struck again with another sensational effort from Cunha, restoring their lead in style.
Despite Arsenal’s late push, United held firm to secure a vital three points and deliver a stunning blow to the league leaders.
