The teams met in the 14th round of the English Premier League in the British capital.
The visitors, led by new head coach Ruben Amorim, lost. Without a goal. They didn't score once, while the hosts did twice. The final score was 2:0.
By the way, before the reporting meeting, Manchester United with the new head coach seriously “raised its head” after a series of failures before that – two wins and one draw.
But the famous Portuguese coach was unable to beat the equally famous Spanish coach Mikel Arteta.
The latter's charges won quite deservedly. They were superior to their opponents in the game, played sharper, more aggressively, faster.
Arsenal's goals were scored by Jurrien Timber (54th minute) and William Saliba (73rd).
