In the derby of the 23rd round of the English football championship, Manchester United defeated leading Arsenal 3-2 as a guest and jumped to fourth place.
The home team took the lead with an own goal Martinez (29-ag) who was hit by a ball sent towards the goal by Odegaard, but it went to the break with the score 1-1 because Mbeumo (37) took advantage of a gift from Zubimendi, who unprovoked passed the ball straight to his feet.
At the beginning of the sequel Dorg (50) gave United the lead with a fantastic shot from more than 20 meters, only to score two more goals at the end of the match. It’s the first Merino (84) managed to level the score at 2-2 in the crowd, but not long after that Cunha (87) returned the advantage to the guests with another nice goal.
After the first defeat of the season, leading Arsenal remained at 50 points, four more than second Manchester City and third Aston Villa, while Manchester United is fourth with 38 points, one more than fifth Chelsea and two more than sixth Liverpool.
