After dominating both the first and second halves of the encounter, it would have been a shocking outcome if Arsenal had lost to Manchester. Arsenal performed as though they owned the game, the stadium, the ball possession, and the three points. After drawing their previous match against Fulham, they felt as though their match against Manchester United was a must-win for them.
I didn’t think Manchester United had much chance of success in that game. Arsenal was simply the better prepared team and was justly rewarded with the win. I had hoped and rooted for Man United to have a win in that game and yes, It would have been a bit surprising if United would come out the victor.
After the tight game with Fulham that ended with a draw, Arsenal had gone into the game desperate for the win. My hopes increased when Rashford scored and I was still somewhat hopeful in the second half. Ultimately, my hopes was dashed as Arsenal scored two late goals to win the game.
