Arsenal beat Manchester United 3-2 in the 21st round of the Premier League. The visitors were leading, the Gunners turned it around to 2: 1, with Eddie Nketiah scoring the final 3: 2. Arsenal regain the lead by five points.

Martin Odegaard had the first chance of the game in the third minute, but his left-footed shot just missed the front post. The Gunners were more active, but in the 17th minute Thomas Partey lost the ball in his own half of the pitch and immediately scored.

Marcus Rashford converted with a hilarious curler and then a shot from outside the box to the left post.

Six minutes later it was level. Eddie Nketiah was completely free at the back post and his header gave David de Gea no chance.

Scott McTominay could have put the Red Devils back in front but Aaron Ramsdale made an excellent save. In stoppage time, Oleksandar Zinchenko’s shot was just wide of the right post.

It was 1-1 after an interesting and even first half. After the change of sides, the pace was slower, but in the 54th minute Bukayo Saka tried his luck from distance and swept in the bottom left corner.

Ramsdale had to do his bit at the other end, parrying a shot from a sharp angle by the active Rashford. In the 60th minute it was level again, Lisandro Martinez headed into the space under the crossbar in a messy situation.

The Gunners continued to press, but were not able to find the back of the net. In the 85th minute, Nketiah had the decision on his feet, but de Gea made a superb save. Five minutes later, the English striker made no mistake, his heel finishing off a shot.

The Gunners remain fourth in the league after winning 3-2, five points clear of Manchester.
