Arsenal Beat Man Utd as Wolves hold Chelsea At Stamford Bridge

Fortune favours the brave. Unai Emery went for a bold attacking line-up and gained a vital victory over Manchester United that must rank as one of his best during his time as Arsenal manager.

It also gave Arsenal the advantage in the Champions League race, as they overtook United to move back into the top four – just a point behind Tottenham Hotspur.

United have been so sure-footed under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but suffered here with goalkeeper David De Gea wrong-footed for Arsenal’s first goal and then referee Jon Moss awarding a controversial penalty as Alexandre Lacazette went over. The Frenchman lost his footing a little too easily.

United had their chances, striking the goal-frame twice, but appeared affected by the midweek exertions in their dramatic Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Earlier, Chelsea had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Wolves, with Eden Hazard getting the equalizer in injury time. The draw means they’ve lost the chance to overtake United in fifth position with a game In hand.
