Arsenal are now back to 5 points clear off runners-up Manchester City with a game in hand, after their win over Manchester Utd today.

The Mancunians were first to score though. On the 17th minute, Bruno Fernandes, in midfield position, finds Rashford who drives forward along the inside left channel. He uses step overs to throw his marking defenders off as he cuts inside. The English international then unleashes a powerful shot from 30 yards that enters the lower left corner of the goal (0-1).

Seven minutes later, Xhaka drills a lofted cross from the the left for NKethiah at the far post. NKetiah gets in front of his marking defender inside the six-yard box and his towering header sends the ball into the lower right corner (1-1).

The Gunners took the lead 7 minutes after the break. Saka latches on to a ball by the right corner of the box. He cuts inside and unleashes a precise low shot with his left that enters the far corner of the net (2-1).

Six minutes later came the equalizer for United. Following a corner from the left, Ramsdale pushes the ball forward and Martinez' lofted header sends the ball into the upper right corner (2-2).

On the last minute, Zinchenko runs down the left, cuts it back low for Odegaard by the penalty spot. Odegaard's first time shot is slightly deflected by a defender and NKetiah's volley from inside the six-yard box enters the right corner of the goal (3-2).

Arsenal extend their unbeaten run to 13 matches in the league and have scored 2 goals or more in 14 of their 19 league matches played this season. Manchester United have ended a 6-match unbeaten run in the league.

Evaluating surprising results

This Highlights stars table shows how heavily each listed player has been involved in the highlights featured on the page. This should not be considered as an evaluation of the quality of each player's production as:

- The choice itself of which highlights to feature is, by nature, subjective

- A player that did not score but missed 4 chances may well total more highlight stars than a player that only took part in one action and scored a goal, as the ranking is mostly about how often each player has been involved in highlights.

- Highlights relate to a selection of events that typically took place in or around the penalty area only. Obviously a fair share of a match action, including either building up or mitigating the build-up of offensive plays, draws less visibility and yet accounts for a major influence in a game, as it determines the volume of goal chances that each team will be dealing with, either offensively or defensively. Players' involvement in such phases may be under-represented in this type of ranking.
