Manchester United and Arsenal played out a 2-2 draw on Wednesday, a result that does not do much good for either side's top-four hopes.

2-2
Match Report
Anthony Martial, on his 23rd birthday, cancelled out Shkodran Mustafi's opener in the first half following an error from goalkeeper David de Gea.
Alexandre Lacazette capitalised on a Marcos Rojo mistake in the second half only for Jesse Lingard to respond almost immediately, meaning each side had to settle for a draw that does not greatly benefit their top-four ambitions.
Match Events
26'GOAL! Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal (Mustafi)
Torreira whips a corner into the middle and Mustafi latches onto the end of his delivery to head at goal. De Gea parries the ball up in the air and it drops on the line, where Herrera attempts to clear but the goal decision system says he was not quick enough.
30'GOAL! Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal (Martial)
The lead did not last long! Rojo forces a diving save from Leno but Herrera prevents the ball from going behind for a corner. He cuts a pass back into the middle where Martial smashes home an equaliser.
68'GOAL! Man Utd 1-2 Arsenal (Lacazette)
The Gunners retake the lead! Rojo sloppily concedes possession to Mkhitaryan, who combines well with Lacazette to burst through on goal. Rojo charges back to clatter into the striker and ends up diverting the ball off Lacazette. A very fortunate goal.
69'GOAL! Man Utd 2-2 Arsenal (Lingard)
United equalise immediately! Sloppy defending from Arsenal sees everyone asleep at the back and Lingard takes advantage, poking the ball past Leno to spark the home fans back into life.
