The best stats from Manchester United’s win at Arsenal

  1. Just twice in Mikel Arteta’s reign at Arsenal has his side lost after scoring at least twice. On both occasions, Michael Carrick’s Manchester United side were responsible. Carrick led the Red Devils to a 3-2 win over the Gunners during his first interim reign in December 2021 and repeated the trick on Sunday.
  1. Michael Carrick is the only manager to have faced Mikel Arteta multiple times and still boast a 100% record against the Arsenal manager.
  1. Arsenal lost at the Emirates Stadium for the first time in 2025-26. Their previous home defeat came against Bournemouth on May 3rd 2025. The defeat ended a 17-game unbeaten run in North London across all competitions.
  1. Manchester United are the first team in almost 16 years to beat the Premier League’s top two in consecutive games. The last team to achieve the feat was Everton in February 2010, after beating Chelsea and Manchester United in successive fixtures.
  1. Arsenal conceded 3+ goals in a game for the first time in 121 matches. The last team to score three times against the Gunners was Luton Town, during a 4-3 win for Arsenal at Kenilworth Road on December 3rd 2023.
  1. Bruno Fernandes’ assist for Patrick Dorgu saw him reach 200 goals and assists in the Premier League. He’s reached that milestone in 312 games, with only nine Premier League players achieving the feat faster this century. Among them, only Kevin De Bruyne (302) games has done so among midfielders.
  1. Manchester United’s win at Arsenal was their first at the Emirates in the league since 2017. Jesse Lingard scored twice in a 3-1 win for Jose Mourinho’s side.
  1. Bryan Mbeumo is the first Manchester United player since Robin van Persie in 2011-12 to score against Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool in his debut season for the club.
  1. Prior to Sunday, Arsenal had conceded two goals from outside the box in the same game at the Emirates just once before. The only previous occasion was a 4-4 draw with Tottenham in October 2008.
