Scott McTominay's first Old Trafford goal put Manchester United in front but Arsenal came from behind in the Premier League on Monday.
Match Report
A vital VAR intervention for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's strike gave Arsenal a 1-1 draw at Manchester United in the Premier League on Monday Night Football.
After a scrappy first 40 minutes, United took the lead through Scott McTominay's deflected strike from 22 yards following a United break (45), just moments after David de Gea had produced a double save to keep Arsenal out.
Arsenal were level through the help of VAR as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang lifted deftly over De Gea, played just onside by Harry Maguire after Axel Tuanzebe's sloppy pass (58), giving the striker his seventh goal in seven Premier League games this season.
McTominay, Maguire and Marcus Rashford came close for United late on, but the draw means Arsenal are fourth with 12 points, while United are three points further back in 10th with just four wins in their last 16 Premier League games.
Match Events
27' Yellow Card! Rashford booked
Rashford closes down David Luiz in possession and then chases down the loose ball. Sokratis is there first and gets caught by the striker's sliding challenge. Not the best tackle and he gets a booking.
29' CLOSE! Pereira's shot stopped by Leno
SAVE! Pereira wins the ball in the middle of the park and charges towards goal. He uses skill to weave his way past David Luiz before firing at goal, but Leno gets down well to save his left-footed strike.
43' SAVE! De Gea makes brilliant double-save
SAVE! Lindelof misses an interception at the back and Saka is through on goal. He goes for a low strike towards the right bottom corner, but De Gea gets down to make the stop. Guendouzi goes for the rebound, but De Gea gets across to the post to push it wide.
45' GOAL! Man Utd 1-0 Arsenal (McTominay)
GOAL! United break the deadlock on the counter. James leads the break out from the back and races the length of the field. He fires a low ball across the face of goal that evades Rashford. The Scot pulls the trigger on a right-footed effort that soars into the top left corner with the aid of a deflection. United needed that.
58' GOAL! Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal (Aubameyang)
GOAL! Tuanzebe loses possession in the final third and Saka releases Aubameyang in the right inside channel. He carries the ball into the middle of the box before lifting his effort over De Gea into the net. The official believed that the Gaboense was beyond the last man, but Maguire played him onside.
64' CHANCE! Pogba's long shot inches wide!
CLOSE! Pogba is inches away from restoring United's lead. Pereira's strike on the edge of the box is diverted into the Frenchman's path. He lines a curling effort on his right foot, but it just drifts wide of the right hand post.
72' CLOSE! Maguire's shot stopped by Leno
SAVE! Maguires almost launches a rocket into the top right corner, but Leno gets across to push it past the post. Pepe gave away possession for the visitors and was almost punished.
90' SAVE! Leno parries Rashford's long range free kick
SAVE! Rashford goes for goal and he bends his effort around the wall, but Leno is there to push it away from goal with a strong hand.

Imagine beating Chelsea at the first game with 4 goals margin and still beneath Chelsea in the table with 2 pts... I feel Lampard deserves the accolades 🐐

5 things spotted in this game : - granit xhaka who was supposed as a captain to be courageous and block goals, but instead he ducked in mctominay's goal - aubameyang, saka, guendozi , James, mctominay, and David De gea were the bright spots from both sides. the rest were having their mind on other things . - all of arsenal fans including me were praying for granit xhaka to be subbed after recieving yellow card, but instead saka was removed . - today's shambolic performance from both teams proved why it's elsakiko not elclassico - the one who didn't watched this game is the winner because they escape from pressure, hearattack, and boredness

Guys come on as Manchester United fan please we need to learn how to appreciate and remember that we are in transition of building the strongest Team. Ole is the right Manager for Manchester United, just need to bring in two players:one striker and one Holding Midfielder. the other thing Ole need to work on is bringing in a Substitute earlier but so far the Team is working hard and working together as a Team. now you can even see where you need to reinforce a player not like when JM was in charge. you couldn't tell what's wrong with the Team? JM spending money for nothing and keep criticizing players on the news conference instead of building the Team. but now Ole you can see how players are playing with freedom and the money will be spending wisely that's how you build the Team. Guys please let give Ole supports needed we are not far away to have a fantastic Team. believe that!Glory Glory man United. building the Team with Academy players is not an easy task but we're doing well so far thanks Mr Ole keep going we are behind you.

Oh yeah, building a team??? What u meant to say is BUYING a team! All we need is another Leicester player, and another midfielder that someone else found, or developed! Than we’ll be great! Lmao! U already have a good team! Buying up the players that make other teams good is not gonna do shit for United! All we need is to buy McGuire, and now our defense is set! Wrong!!! All we need is to get Maddison, and that will put us over the top!! Wrong!! The problems lay way deeper! I doubt I will live long enough to see united win the premier leaugue again! And I’m not that old! It’s always the same old shit! We need to get this guy, we need to get that guy! It doesn’t matter! The results will be the same! Sorry, but it’s just a fact!

Ole I told you to sell all defenders and buy some Dutch and french players. Most I feel underrate players from countries like Russia who shone much brighter than most big teams but they aren't brought to these leagues because they are not from Brazil Argentina Spain and Germany. Yet they were better than all these teams with their big name players.It stinks Until these so called managers and scouts watch tapes upon tapes to find what their clubs really need things won't get better. Give me a club near the bottom of the league and give me say 100 million at the transfer market and I'll give a club 4 0r 5 players who would lift the club even half way

Dude when a world class player is playing he doesn’t just do couple of good thing in a game he makes his team win ! And rashford of course screwed it he screws everything ! Pogba cannot make us win so sell him and that’s it He actually ask double wage for staying ! He doesn’t give a shit of the club ! What Man Utd should do is cut his wage in Half until we aren’t back in top 4 !

If anyone missed the game, it was a matter of who was worse. I've seen bottom table teams have more exciting games than these 2... Only positives are Saka and Tuanzebe for either side...
