The Gunners went ahead on three minutes when Bukayo Saka’s shot was saved by David De Gea and the ball fell for Nuno Tavares, who fired in his first goal for the club.

Arsenal doubled their lead on 32 minutes when Saka was adjudged to have been fouled by Alex Telles, following a VAR review, before converting his second penalty of the week.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s 100th Premier League goal reduced the deficit two minutes later.

United were awarded a penalty on 55 minutes following a handball by Tavares, but Bruno Fernandes struck the outside of the post.

Diogo Dalot hit the woodwork for a second time before Granit Xhaka added a third for Arsenal with a superb shot from 25 yards.

Back-to-back wins move Arsenal up to fourth on 60 points, three ahead of Spurs who play Brentford this evening. Man Utd drop to sixth on 54 points.

Despite the win, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists there will still be plenty of ups and downs in the battle to secure Champions League football. “I said this is going to be a rollercoaster,” he said. “The winning and losing in this league is small margins. Today things went our way and we are really happy.”
