The 14th round of the Premier League was completed tonight (Thursday), when Manchester United hosted Arsenal at Old Trafford in a meeting that ended in a fun 2: 3 to the credit of the host.
Emile Smith Row put the visitors ahead in the 13th minute, taking advantage of the fact that goalkeeper David de Gea is lying on the pitch due to an injury during Arsenal's corner.
At first the judge did not approve the gate but after a long check in the VAR system the unconventional gate was finally approved.
But even before the half-time break Bruno Fernandez managed to find the equalizer from Fred’s cooking (44).

The Red Devils opened the second half with a storm, and in the 52nd minute Cristiano Ronaldo made a comeback.
The Portuguese phenomenon received a wide ball from Marshford and continued to touch Ramsdale's net, celebrating his 800th career career.
But the host's advantage did not last long, as Martin Edgor equalized with a goal in the 55th minute thanks to a tremendous move and Martinelli's cooking.
Ronaldo was given a chance to regain the lead after the VAR referees identified a foul on Fred in the box and awarded a penalty to the Devils, which the Portuguese turned 2: 3 into the 70th minute.
