8 minutes of added time
There are still things that can happen in this encounter. Nelson, by the way, replaced Martinelli for the end of the match.
GOAL CANCELED, OFFSIDE BY GARNACHO
It is played a few centimeters, but the goal is denied to Garnacho. Arsenal is doing miraculously. Always 1-1.
GARNACHO CRUCIFIE ARSENAL !
In two assists, Manchester United trap Arsenal’s defense. Garnacho goes deep and adjusts Ramsdale right quietly, face-to-face. 2-1 for Manchester United.
Garnacho and Evans come into play
Releases of Antony and Lindelof. Jonny Evans, 35 and back at the club, is playing for the first time since 2015 with Manchester United.
FROM BUTE SUR ONANA!
It was a masterful action from the Gunners but when it came to the conclusion, Saka lacked accuracy. His strike is not powerful enough and especially on Onana, who saves the goal with a little success!
Rashford spoils an interesting counter!
After a loose ball from Saliba, Rashford raced towards goal against a disorganized defence, but he didn’t want to serve any team-mates and finally went for a desperate strike.
Triple change for Arsenal
Entrées by Gabriel Jesus, Tomiyasu and Fabio Vieira, sorties by Nketiah, Zinchenko and Havertz.
Cons poorly managed by Arsenal
Nketiah got the ball well before finding Martinelli, but his pass is imprecise and Antony intervenes.
Rashford countered by White!
The Manchester winger is the one who constantly brings danger.
Hojlund not far from regaining the ball!
Rashford had eliminated White beautifully to the side before crossing back. In the fight physically, Hojlund was close to being able to conclude with an attempt to madjer!
Yellow card for Onana
He is warned to save time. He had been warned several times in this meeting already.
MARTINELLI !
Found behind after a corner, the Brazilian rolls up low to the ground. It passes close to Onana’s post!
Entry of Rasmus Hojlund
The Dane makes his first appearance in the Manchester United shirt. Recruited for 75 million euros this summer, he arrives from Atalanta Bergamo. He replaces Anthony Martial. Maguire replaces him Martinez, injured.
Big fault on Nketiah
Lisandro Martinez takes a logical yellow. The two Manchester United centrals are now warned. The Argentinian even seems to have hurt himself on this action, and will perhaps have to give way to Maguire.
Odegaard hesitates and strikes, without danger
He dithered when there were possibilities to strike earlier or stagger Saka.
PENALTY CANCELLED
Anthony Taylor reconsiders his decision. He believes that there was ultimately no fault.
The action is VAR checked
The touch is light. There is contact at the hips but it is not obvious. Anthony Taylor will even go see the images himself. Not sure that the penalty is maintained.
PENALTY FOR ARSENAL!
HAVERTZ HAD FOUND THE OPENING IN THE DEFENSE! After a good breakthrough from Rice and a nice pass from Nketiah, the German slipped between Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro before collapsing.
Martinelli makes miseries on his side
He will look for corners, touches and there a fault which gives an interesting free kick to the Gunners.
The double rescue of Ramsdale and Saliba!
Nothing is enough for them to bring danger. Martial first triggers from the left, it is pushed back by Ramsdale. Rashford then continues, deflected by Saliba.
Nketiah strike, blocked
He quickly got into a striking position, but the Mancunian defense was there.
Odegaard strikes with the right!
He is countered by Martinez, after a nice shift from the Gunners thanks to Nketiah and Zinchenko.
Arsenal have the ball in these first minutes
But at a fairly slow pace. We do not find the usual intensity of the Gunners today.
Here we go again at the Emirates Stadium!
The kick-off of the second period is given by Arsenal.
Saka creates a lot of differences
He single-handedly made as many key passes as the entire Manchester United squad in the first half.
First period stats
They confirm the domination of Arsenal, which for the moment does not allow the Gunners to be in front of the score.
Havertz misses his head, we leave it at that
It’s over for this first period. Marcus Rashford opened the scoring in the 27th minute, before Martin Odegaard equalized a minute later. The Gunners dominate overall, but the pace fell in the final quarter of an hour.
Saka wraps from the left!
It is countered and deflected for a corner. Arsenal push just before the break.
3 minutes of additional time
The pace has dropped since the two goals from Rashford and Odegaard.
Center from Zinchenko to Saka!
Good defense from Dalot, which prevents the Arsenal winger from placing his header.
Foul on Saka
But yellow card for Saka. The Englishman was hooked and got the whistle from the referee, but following the action, falling, he tackled and put a sole to Bruno Fernandes.
Rashford Long Strike
It’s unscrewed, it spins in the stands.
Very big mistake by Lindelof on Nketiah!
It only takes one yolk. It was almost a last-man situation, even though Martinez was trying to get back in the middle. The Swede was trapped by the trajectory of the ball, Nketiah had passed in front of him and he touched him with his foot at face level.
United have the ball now
Since the two goals, Arsenal leaves the ball more. The Gunners may want to avoid conceding counterattacks, like the one that led to Rashford’s opener.
Eriksen tente sa chance!
It’s blocked, corner. Just before, Fernandes took the ball away from Wan-Bissaka, who was reportedly arriving in a better position to shoot.
1’40 between the two goals
Rashford’s goal celebration included, there was just a minute and 40 seconds between Manchester United’s goal and Odegaard’s equalizer.
ODEGAAAARD RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY!
ARSENAL RETURNS AFTER ONLY ONE MINUTE! On a very nice collective action, Martinelli finds Odegaard at the entrance to the surface. The Norwegian applies the inside of the foot, it’s unstoppable. 1-1!
RASHFORD OPENS THE SCORE!
THE ARSENAL DEFENSE LET IT GO! Found by Eriksen on a counter, Rashford provoked White to transplant in the axis and roll up. Ramsdale deflected the ball but not enough. This fits in with the help of the pole. 1-0 for Manchester United.
Manchester hold the ball a little better
Without being dangerous for the moment, but the players of Ten Hag blow a little.
Saka to the ground
The English winger hurt himself by tackling to recover the ball in front of Marchus Rashford. He gets up, it seems okay.
Rice’s head!
On a corner, the Englishman had taken the best of the defense, but his header was off target.
Odegaard tente sa chance!
He had returned well to 18 meters but he is countered. Behind, Martinelli gives a dangerous center towards Saka, Dalot intervenes to put in a corner.
Martinelli gets another corner
The Brazilian is twirling and always brings danger to the edge of the United defense.
Havertz’s miss!
What a miss! After an overflow from Martinelli, the ball arrives at Havertz who has time to strike but completely misses his gesture. Martinez succeeds behind to clear for a corner just in front of Nketiah who was arriving.
Both teams offer heavy pressing
But for the moment, on both sides, we manage to thwart this pressing with serenity. André Onana plays very high and however takes some risks on certain phases of possession.
Big foul by Havertz on Antony
No card for the German, who is doing quite well on this one.
Petite phase d’observation
After the first minutes to the advantage of Arsenal, the ball turns a little more towards United. We observe each other in the midfield.
Combination Martinelli-Nketiah on corner!
The Manchester defense is surprised, fortunately Rashford is present to counter Martinelli, who arrived dangerously in the penalty area.
Martinelli back!
Launched by Havertz, the Brazilian takes the defense of speed and tries to cross back, but it is between Saka and Odegaard and ultimately for no one.
Let’s go to the Emirates Stadium!
The kick-off is given by Manchester United, after the anthem “North London Forever” intoned by the whole stadium.

Arsenal like to host United
In Manchester United’s last five receptions at the Emirates, Arsenal have won four and drawn one.
Nketiah still established, Gabriel Jesus replacing
Back from injury, Gabriel Jesus has not yet regained his starting position, squatted by Eddie Nketiah. The English striker, selected for the first time with the Three Lions this week, made a thunderous start to the season (2 goals, 1 penalty obtained). At the Emirates, he is also in his garden: he has scored 14 goals in his last 16 starts on the Gunners’ lawn.
Arsenal-United’s best goals
Avec Bukayo Saka, Thierry Henry, Wayne Rooney or Nani.
Partey injured, the tile for Arsenal
Since yesterday evening, the information had been released in certain British media. Arsenal tried to hide the information ahead of Sunday’s clash, but Thomas Partey suffered a groin injury this week in training. The duration of the unavailability of the Ghanaian is not known, but it is a blow for the Gunners as his presence in the middle is important.
Reguilon and Hojlund on the bench
Arrived from Tottenham on loan a few days ago, left-back Sergio Reguilon is already on the score sheet, replacing. Rasmus Hojlund is also present on the bench, back from injury.
Manchester United with Martial but without Varane
