90+2' Cristiano Ronaldo is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.
90' Cedric is replaced by Tomiysau.
89' Sancho tries to play a one-two with Dalot but the return pass rolls straight out of play. The camera pans to the away end. Some glum faces.

FERNANDES MISSES PENALTY!!!
52' SHOT!
Arsenal hunting a third goal. Saka tries his luck from 30 yards but it sails high and over the crossbar.
48' WILD!
Arsenal move the ball excellently to Tavares who cuts inside to open up a chance from 15 yards. His finish is woeful. Ballooned into the stands.
46' Second Half begins...
H-T Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd
45+4' SAVE!!
Arsenal counter. Odegaard moves into space from 22 yards and curls an effort on target but it's straight at De Gea, who decides to punch it away and Tavares comes in from 15 yards on the rebound. He thunders it over the crossbar.
45+2' SAVE!!
Telles now decides to chance his luck from range and hits a fantastic strike that Ramsdale flaps away. Cedric then in rather panicky fashion shanks a clearance out for a corner.
45' Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd
5' added on.
40' CHANCES!!
Arsenal win their first corner. The ball is cleared out to Saka who volleys one from 18 yards out. Elanga makes a crucial block. It drops back to Saka who tries again from closer in but the outcome is the same. Blocked away.
35' BLOCK!
United get in again down the Arsenal left. Ronaldo pulls out there and cuts inside. He smacks a low effort that is blocked away by Gabriel.
33' GOAL! Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd (Ronaldo, 33')

27' Arsenal 1-0 Man Utd
PENALTY TO ARSENAL!!
26' PENALTY APPEAL!! Arsenal 1-0 Man Utd
The goal is ruled out. But now VAR are checking for the penalty! Was Saka fouled by Telles?
26' GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Man Utd (Nketiah, 26')
23' OFF THE CROSSBAR!!!
United rattle the frame of the goal! Dalot with a fantastic effort from range that leaves Ramsdale standing. He hasn't scored this season. So unlucky.
22' Foul by Alex Telles.
Bukayo Saka wins a free kick in the defensive half.
19' Attempt missed.
Martin Ødegaard left footed shot from outside the box is high and wide to the left from a direct free kick.
17' Positive running from Nketiah as he darts towards the Red Devils box and shapes to shoot before he's caught from behind by Elanaga.

Dangerous free-kick for the Gunners with both Cedric and Odegaard standing over it…
15' Brilliant again from Ronaldo to combine with Elanga and send him through with Tavares wrestling with him to get back.

Elanga looks to have the pace to get away before he hits the deck inside the area claiming a foul but nothing given!
11' Attempt missed.
Scott McTominay header from the right side of the six yard box is high and wide to the right.
6' BIG SAVE!!
United counter. Elanga is sent in behind Gabriel and has the pace on him. Out comes Ramsdale to meet him and he stands tall before making a fine stop to push it out for a corner.
