Nketiah, a double he will remember

The Arsenal striker will remember this shock against Manchester United.

In one evening, he scored as many goals as since the start of the Premier League season.

Replacing injured Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah fulfilled his role perfectly by being a real poison throughout the meeting.

Interesting to play in pivot and put back good balloons, he knew how to be present in the right place to conclude.

Well placed to take back a cross from Xhaka on the 1-1 goal (24th), he missed an important duel against De Gea a few minutes from the end (84th).

But, relentlessly, he ended up scoring this saving goal, a real fox goal from the surfaces.

Saka, the wisp

As often, he was the detonator.

Bukayo Saka was a constant wisp from start to finish.

Making a lot of differences on his side, he made the left side of MU Shaw suffer and was at the origin of many movements.

With the high point of this magnificent strike on the 2-1 goal which capsized the Emirates Stadium.

Odegaard, the virtuoso

He is the man through whom all the balls pass through the middle.

Martin Odegaard was still radiant in the midfield, perfectly directing the game of the Gunners, distilling passes of which he alone has the secret.

With his great volume of play, he proved to be tireless and is within the scope of the Gunners' winning goal by being well placed to take back a cross from Zinchenko.

FLOPS

Manchester United ended up dulling

In this intense shock, Manchester United had done more than compete for a good hour of play. Conquerors, the Red Devils were able to respond to the heavy pressure exerted by Arsenal.

Except that they seemed less well prepared than their opponents.

If they were able to come back to 2-2, they suffered during the last half hour of the match, passing near the correctional.

The Mancunians have indeed believed to make the round back but they finally gave in in the last moments.

A setback that hurts and extinguishes a great series.

Varane dived like the others

Much in demand, Raphaël Varane tried to hold the Mancunian house.

But he will have yielded like his teammates, overwhelmed by the impressive liveliness of the opposing attackers.

He was in charge of cutting the trajectories on the many crosses and if he did it a few times, he lacked precision in his raises.
