Great result at the Emirates Stadium for the Mancunian outfits. Arsenal did the playing. They dominated virtually all aspect of the game; enjoyed possession and passed the ball swiftly as they are habitually known. In the end, it was Manchester United that did the scoring having being outplayed by the home side. They scored courtesy of an Antonio Valencia effort which deflected off Kieran Gibbs to put Manchester United in front despite not having a goal on target as well as previous clear-cut chances. Louis Van Gaal shocked everyone when he reverted to his initial albeit unsuccessful 3-man-at-the-back system. He also went to the Emirates full of dozens of injuries to say the least. That paved a starting berth for young Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett. They were nervous at first but developed tremendously during the course of the game. Summer recruit Luke Shaw limped off in a suspected ankle injury to be replaced by the most maligned player in the club: Ashley Young. The England winger had a decent game to be honest. Oliveir Giroud registered his name in the score sheets with a thunderous effort that went beyond the grasp of De Gea and seemingly so hot for him to parry it wide. The goal wasnt enough to cancel out Wayne Rooneys sensational chip past Arsenal goalie, Martinez. The game ended in an emphatic 2-1 victory for the reds. The result also left Manchester United in the top four after leapfrogging several other clubs by virtue of the three points. Spanish goalie and man of the match, David De Gea, pulled off a series of opulent saves to deny Arsenal glaring as well as clear-cut chances. The Spanish ace had a fabulous game and rescued Manchester United on different occasion. Angel Di Maria missed a glorious chance when his chip past Martinez went wide. That should have buried the game. Arsenal had Wilshere out due to injury as well as goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. All in all, the gunners had a decent game. Do you think Manchester United will finish in the top four this season?
