What was the significance of Manchester United's win against Arsenal?
Welcome to the Sky Sports Premier League podcast. There were four games live on Sky Sports on Sunday, headlined by Arsenal against Manchester United at the Emirates. This is how we saw things at full time.
Stunning. It is stunning. Manchester United have found their soul and they have won a Premier League game at the Emirates for the first time in eight years. And Manchester United have thrown a cat amongst the pigeons in the title race. It was compelling from beginning to end. Martinez's own goal established a lead for Arsenal. And Bomo's equalizer before halftime. And then a couple of Manchester United goals. Patrick Dorgue and Mateus Cunha. Brilliant Manchester United goals. Stunners, sparklers. Either side of Mourinho's 2-2 equalizer. And United come away from here with the points as no-one this season before them have. It is quiet here, bar one, corner. 3-2 United, Gary. An incredible, incredible match, and a sobering day for Arsenal.
They're going to have to regroup, reset, rethink. They've still got a four-point lead, there's still a long way to go. but certainly there will be questions asked after that today, and for Manchester United, what a turnaround from Michael Carrick's men. They lose their manager only 12 days ago, and from that moment on against Manchester City and Arsenal, they've refused to go into that top four against the likes of Burnley and Leeds and Wolves and Bournemouth and Everton and West Ham, but they've played City, they've played Arsenal, and they've grabbed that chance finally. so arsenal united in the best traditions of that famous fixture manchester united by the odd goal in five and the gap dave is four
And if they weren't nervous before the game, Arsenal fans, they certainly are now. And Manchester United, dare we say it, are starting to look like Manchester United again. Roy Keane, what do you make of that? Brilliant, brilliant second half performance from United.
How did the match unfold in terms of goals and key moments?
I always think, do you know what, United, considering where they are and where they've been, had a bit of a swagger, there was a calmness to their play. The second half, they got a helping hand with the first goal, sorry, but the second half, two brilliant strikes, players off the bench and a big influence. You see the United fans in the corner, a bit like the old days, you know, a nice vibe about the team. Obviously Carrick's done really well. Two brilliant results, two very good performances, a bit of fighting spirit and also real quality. Patrick, what's your perspective on what you've just seen from Arsenal? Disappointed performance. I think when you're on top of the table, you're expected to win the game at home, especially against United.
I think there was a lack of aggressivity, but aggressivity with the ball. I think too many players didn't perform at their level. and overall it was a disappointing team performance by Arsenal. What a spectacular moment, Smyker, for Patrick Doherty to make it 2-1. From him, the match-winner, Mateus Cunha, just two minutes 58 after Arsenal levelled it to score again. Yeah, he's a real quality player, and the spirit that Man United are showing now, especially after that win against City last week, the big question mark could they back it up and they backed up all right even at times in the games where arson had more possession they stayed in the game and then they finished off their moment what a job this man is doing six points he takes and the overall spirit looks different everyone looks a lot happier the changes he made were really good even the bosses even the bosses look happier exactly that but take nothing away from from that before where's the contract right
But the goal threat was there. Three goals today, two last week. When you're scoring that type of goal and the attacking players are performing, it gives you a great chance of winning football matches. Obviously, Maguire's come back into the team. His experience is certainly helping. They're putting bodies on the line. Yeah, they gave up two goals, but they also won the momentum back in the game.
