Carrick shines at Arsenal, Amorim dubbed ‘bottle stopper’ – Man United | OneFootball

The match between Arsenal and Manchester United, part of the 23rd round of the Premier League, ended with a 3-2 victory for the Red Devils at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday. This was the second victory in two games for the Old Trafford emblem under the technical command of Michael Carrick, who defeated the top two teams since the departure of Ruben Amorim.

The result began to take shape in the first half, with Arsenal scoring the first goal of the match after Lisandro Martínez, in conjunction with Timber, shot into their own net in the 29th minute. However, Bryan Mbeumo received a 'gift' from Martín Zubimendi in the Gunners' defense and didn't hesitate to score the equalizer, just eight minutes after falling behind.

The first half ended in a 1-1 draw with plenty of offensive football from both sides, but it was Manchester United that started better after the break. Patrick Dorgu took advantage of a light touch from Bruno Fernandes to turn the game around with a stunning goal, a long-range shot that lifted the stadium, in the 51st minute.

But the story of this game didn't end there, as with Viktor Gyokeres - who might be in trouble - on the field, Arsenal equalized at 2-2, with Mikel Merino scoring from a corner in the 84th minute. Nevertheless, the Red Devils had the last laugh, after Matheus Cunha took the ball at the edge of the box to fire the winning goal in the 87th minute, putting an end to Arteta's team's good streak, which hadn't lost in 12 games.

With this result, Manchester United climbed to fourth place, with 38 points in 23 games played in the English championship. Meanwhile, the league leader Arsenal sees its advantage reduced to just four points, with 15 games still to play this season in the Premier League.
