A very high-voltage match between Arsenal and Manchester United took place last night in the Super Sunday. Arsenal, who were very close to winning the league the previous season, welcomed Manchester United at Emirates Stadium. This game saw madness on the pitch as both sides were super aggressive against each other. Manchester United scored the first goal, but Arsenal stole the show in the stoppage time. Two more goals in the stoppage time secured a thrilling victory for the Gunners.

Match Report

At Emirates Stadium, Arsenal boss played his team in a 4-3-3 formation, where Bukayo Saka led the frontline with Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah. Meanwhile, Man United boss Erik Ten Hag missed several players due to injury. He set up the team's formation with 4-2-3-1, where Anthony Martial was the center forward, and Antony, Rashford, and Bruno Fernandes played just behind the striker. The game started with both sides creating so many chances. But it was Manchester United who scored first. Christian Eriksen set up a counterattack, providing a brilliant pass to Marcus Rashford. Rashford didn't make any mistakes and found the back of the net in the 27th minute. But guess what? The Gunners took only 60 seconds to level the scoreline. Captain Martin Odegaard brought Arsenal back into the game with a fantastic goal in the 28th minute. Therefore, the first half ended in a 1-1 tie. After the break, both sides continued playing aggressively. Arsenal could have killed the game in the 60th minute as they had a penalty. A penalty kick was initially awarded to the Gunners after Aaron Wan Bissaka fouled Kai Havertz inside the box. But it was ruled out after the VAR check. But the most controversial thing happened just before the full-time. Man United winger Alejandro Garnacho found the net in the 89th minute, and everyone started celebrating the goal. However, VAR made a controversial decision by ruling out the goal due to offside. However, Man United were very desperate to secure the victory from Etihad Stadium. They maintained the high line and tried pressing the home side. Besides, Arsenal took that opportunity and scored two more goals in the stoppage time. Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus scored those two goals to secure a thrilling 3-2 victory against Manchester United.

Ten Hag is Unhappy with the VAR

Man United boss Erik Ten Hag is very unhappy with the decision of the VAR. He believes Man United's performance against Arsenal was good enough. "The performance was alright from us. I thought we played a very good game but everything went against us - then you don't win the game," Ten Hag told to Sky Sports after the game. "We needed a little bit more luck to win the game. It was not offside [for Alejandro Garnacho's goal]. It was the wrong angle. It was then a penalty on [Rasmus] Hojlund and then we concede a goal that's a foul on Jonny Evans. It's so clear and obvious," the manager stated.
