Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal: Auba's chip cancels McTominay's stunner as points shared

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.

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.

64' CHANCE! Pogba's long shot inches wide!
