The only team in the league with a perfect record was Arsenal, who traveled to Manchester intending to keep it, but the home team convincingly had other ideas.
In addition to Marcus Rashford’s two goals, United defeated Arsenal, who had won their previous five league games in a row, thanks to Antony, their £85 million acquisition who scored the first goal of the game on his league debut.
In his post-game interview, Mikel Arteta, the head coach of the Gunners, had a lot to say about the game, some of which included criticism of his own squad.
(We lacked discipline and we conceded the first goal when it was an action with Bruno and three versus three in the backline and we didn’t follow our principles and we had to concede the goal, which was two against one), Arteta said.
The 40-year-old coach continued, (After that it was all us, chance after chance, dominating the game and imposing ourselves in the way that we wanted to play. At halftime, I told my boys, the game was theirs to win).
