Against an underwhelming United side, Mikel Arteta’s team dominated proceedings and went a step further winning 1-0 at Old Trafford.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s 69th-minute penalty led Arsenal to their first victory at United in the competition since September 2006 after Paul Pogba was adjudged to have fouled Hector Bellerin inside the area.
In the process, manager Arteta became just the second manager in Gunners’ history to win both of his first two games against Manchester United – with Herbert Chapman being the other in the 1925-26 campaign.
Has anyone else felt the need to go for a run this morning? 😅

Excited by his former team’s performance on Sunday evening, the two-time African Player of the Year took to social media to revel in the club’s fourth triumph of the 2020-21 campaign.
“Done and dusted. Come on you Arsenal, job well done. We move!,” the former Ajax, Inter Milan and Portsmouth star wrote on Instagram.
The result helped Arsenal move up to eighth place on the table on 12 points, ahead of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side who are in 15th place.
After helping Serie A side Inter win the Uefa Cup in the 1997-98 season, Kanu joined the English team in February 1999 for approximately £4.15 million and immediately established himself in the team.
In his first full season with the Gunners, the Nigerian scored 17 goals in 50 matches, while also helping them to a runners-up finish in the Uefa Cup [now the Europa League].
