London England.
With two goals in discount, Arsenal achieved ‘in extremis’ the 3-1 victory over Manchester United, this Sunday in a duel between two greats on the 4th day of the Premier League.
When everything seemed to point to a distribution of points at the Emirates Stadium, Declan Rice, star signing of the ‘Gunners’ for the new season for the 122 million euros (138 million dollars) paid to West Ham according to press estimates , made it provisional 2-1 with a shot with his right leg with which he deceived Andre Onana, at 90+6.
Brazilian Gabriel Jesús sealed the final 3-1 at 90+11, with a cross shot to successfully finish off a counterattack.
Before that stoppage time, Arsenal and Manchester United were tied on the scoreboard.
United had gone ahead in the 27th minute with a goal from Marcus Rashford and moments later, in the 28th minute, they had balanced the local team thanks to the Norwegian Martin Odegaard, assisted by the Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli.
The game script was painful for Manchester United, who even in 1989 believed they were ahead 2-1, when the Argentine international Alejandro Garnacho scored for the visitors. Shortly after, the VAR annulled that goal.
With their agonizing triumph, Arsenal avoided chaining a second consecutive draw at home, after last week’s 2-2 against Fulham.
The English runner-up team now has 10 points and is fifth in the table, tied with West Ham (2nd), Liverpool (3rd) and Tottenham (4th), who are only ahead of them on goal difference. The four make up the first chasing group of the leader, Manchester City, who thrashed Fulham 5-1 on Saturday and is the only Premier League team that managed to win in the first four days.
Manchester United is eleventh, with 6 points.
Liverpool had beaten Aston Villa 3-0 this Sunday, another of the teams that faces the course with ambitious aspirations.
