Goals from Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus gave Arsenal a 3-1 comeback victory over Manchester United, after Marcus Rashford opened the scoring.
It was a dramatic victory at The Emirates, with the two goals that made the difference coming deep into stoppage time.
Manchester United had opened the scoring in the first half, as Rashford scored when he cut inside from the left and dribbled across goal, before lashing a shot past Aaron Ramsdale’s left hand to give United a 27th minute lead.
But, that advantage would last little more than a minute as Odegaard instantly responded. Quick play to beat the United press saw the ball cut back to the edge of the box, and the onrushing midfielder struck first-time past Andre Onana.
A dramatic second half in Arsenal vs Manchester United
After the break Arsenal’s Kai Havertz had a penalty overruled by VAR, before late drama ensued.
Alejandro Garnacho raced through to calmly slot past Ramsdale, believing he had given United an 89th minute winner. However, he was adjudged to be offside when Gabriel stepped up to bait the offside trap.
Declan Rice then scored in the 96th minute via a corner to make it 2-1. Bukayo Saka’s delivery went to the far post, where Rice was left unmarked to chest down, take a second and drill the ball at the United goal.
Thanks to a deflection and some poor goalkeeping, Rice was on the scoresheet and The Emirates exploded in joy.
Gabriel Jesus then sealed the win five minutes later. The Brazilian was set through on goal and calmly slotted past Onana to seal the win for Arsenal.
The Gunners now move up to fifth with 10 points, whilst United drop to 11th with six points so far.
It means Mikel Arteta can head into the international break with some momentum again.
Arsenal are reportedly ready to terminate Nicolas Pepe’s agreement after failing to offload the winger prior to the close of the transfer window. The Gunners failed to find a suitor for their 28-year-old forward despite reported interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
The Arsenal man has been away from the team for a while now and it’s no secret that he didn’t react to yesterday’s big win against Manchester United despite being a Gooner himself, this behaviour has made it crystal clear that he’s unwilling to be here and it’s high time he should pack his bags and depart the club.
According to Daily Mail, the north London outfit are on the verge of ripping apart Pepe’s contract instead of finding a suitable transfer. Currently, the former Lille man has one year left on his deal at the Emirates.
However, reports from today claims Besiktas will pay a nominal fee to Arsenal for Nicolas Pepe. It is also understood that Pepe will be taking a significant wage drop to move to the Turkey’s Super Lig. [90 min]
Nicolas Pepe will join Beşiktaş. The Ivorian had his medical in Paris this morning and will fly to Turkey later today to complete his move.
The Ivory Coast international spent the entirety of last season on loan with Ligue 1 side OGC Nice. During his stint with the French outfit, he scored eight goals and provided one assist from 28 appearances across all competitions.
Pepe is clearly not a part of Mikel Arteta’s plans at Arsenal. Yet to make an appearance for the Gunners this season, the winger will evidently need to look for a new employer.
Since joining from Lille in 2019 for a reported fee of £72 million, Pepe has failed to impress in England. Overall, he managed 112 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 27 goals and providing 21 assists across all competitions. The Ivory Coast international started the FA Cup final victory against Chelsea in 2020, and this remains his only major honor in north London.
