Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Man United Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Man United

Arsenal comfortably defeated Manchester United 2-0, with both goals coming from corners, as Ruben Amorim suffered his first defeat in English football. The Gunners capitalized on Liverpool's dropped points to narrow the gap at the top of the Premier League.

Jurrien Timber opened the scoring in the 54th minute with a header from Declan Rice's corner, and William Saliba sealed the win with another header from Bukayo Saka’s corner.

Arsenal's set-piece prowess has been a significant strength under Mikel Arteta, having scored 22 goals from corners since last season, more than any other Premier League team.

United did threaten, with Diogo Dalot and Matthijs de Ligt coming close, but Arsenal dominated, leaving Amorim’s three-game unbeaten run with United ended.
