Arsenal secure stunning 3-1 stoppage-time win over Manchester United

The Gunners were on top early but United scored the opener against the run of play. Marcus Rashford, just as he did in the same fixture last season, finished a counter-attack with aplomb.

Arsenal equalised immediately when Martin Odegaard struck a fine finish after a cutback from Gabriel Martinelli and it stayed level at 1-1 entering the half.

The hosts were awarded a penalty just before the hour mark when Kai Havertz went down following a challenge from Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Referee Anthony Taylor visited the VAR monitor and overturned the call, though.

United thought they had taken a 2-1 lead late on, only for substitute Alejandro Garnacho’s goal to be ruled out for offside.

It was Arsenal who would celebrate a late win, however, when a deflected Declan Rice strike squeezed past Andre Onana to give the home team the lead in stoppage time.

Gabriel Jesus made sure of the points, stretching the scoreline to 3-1 after breaking free in the 99th minute.

There was also a winner for Tom Carnduff in his Super Sunday Cheat Sheet, landing a 5/1 BuildABet for Sporting Life readers.
