And immediately, Senegalese journalists start applauding, Moroccan journalists start booing. The Moroccan journalists then try to stage a walkout, but because of the nature of the seating, you know, sort of theatre-style seating, they couldn't get out, there's people in the way. And so then fights break out. And I'm not talking two or three fights, I'm talking 40, 50, 60 fights break out.

Off the Ball's Football Daily. Hello and welcome along to Monday's Football Daily. I'm Phil Egan. Coming up today, we'll look back at our feature commentary game yesterday as Manchester United stunned Arsenal to move into the Premier League's top four. Is Michael Carrick the man to take United to the next level and Evan Ferguson fails to get off the bench for Roma? First at the Emirates Stadium where Arsenal were beaten for the first time this season, the Gunners lost 3-2 to Manchester United thanks to a stunning late strike from substitute Mateus Cunha. The Gunners had gone ahead through Alessandro Martinez's own goal before Brian Mbumo was gifted an equaliser from a mistake from Martin Zubamendi.
Patrick Dorgue then gave Michael Carrickside the lead thanks to a Tony Yeboah-esque strike after he linked up with Bruno Fernandes. a one-two of Fernandes, then it's back to Fernandes, to Dogu, Dogu just at the edge of the box, hits it from the volley, oh my word what a goal, what a strike from Patrick Dogu to put Manchester United in front on 50 minutes here at the Everett Stadium and they are going absolutely bananas over on the away support there, the Manchester United supporters around that tunnel on the far side of the pitch, that's However, Mikel Mourinho came off the bench to draw the sides level when he scored from a scrappy corner. But Mateus Cunha had the last laugh when he scored a stunning 25-yard curler.
Mateus Cunha out of nothing has found some space outside the box. Oh, look at Gabriel. He's on his knees, punching the ground. Decker Rice, his head is hanging.
The Arsenal players do not know what to do.
That result puts United into fourth place, eight points off Aston Villa and Manchester City. And after picking up two wins in his opening two games against the top two in Arsenal and City, Carrick says the credit should go to the players.
The boys have been fantastic, you know, as I said, lasting two weeks together to put things in place and to try to do the things we've asked. And as I said, there's still layers that we want to get to and we want to improve. But in terms of kind of what it's taken to win these two games, they've done great.
Carrick went on to say that they have to continue the same vein of form next week when they're at home to Fulham.
You've got to use the emotion, you've got to use the energy, you've got to use the confidence. But like I just said, you've got to be humble enough to understand how we've just achieved these two big results and it doesn't just come easy. So we need to continue that and bottle it and use it again.
What happened in the Manchester United vs Arsenal match?
Despite the loss, Arsenal are still four points clear at the top. However, they have only one win in the Premier League in the new year. Manager Mikel Arteta says they have to show the mental strength they have on a match day after conceding late in the defeat.
We were absolutely brilliant in Milan and today we weren't that good. I don't know if it was mental because how much they played but because we were poor, especially technically in certain aspects of the game than against a team that when you make those mistakes they can punish you big time and that was the difference.
Arteta says the fact that they were booed by some of their supporters after the game shows they have to do more this season.
That's part of the demands and expectations, that we want to win and that's it. Individually, everybody can react in the manner that they need.
Former title-winning captain with Arsenal, Patrick Vieira, questioned the mental strength of Arteta's side.
