EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS | Arsenal vs Manchester United (2-0) | Timber, Saliba earn us all three points 🙌

Ruben Amorim now in charge. Only his fourth game in charge tonight. Having won two and drawing one. Yet to taste defeat. Well, we know from his time at CP, Tim, that he likes to sort of play three defenders at the back to release the full backs, push them on. And it looks like Molassi is trying to do that. He's trying to sit... Oh! Well, his play continues here and Arsenal have scored! But the whistle's gone for offside. Yeah, you can't afford to do that against Arsenal's players. He tries to drill a ball out to the right-hand side, gets cut out and Martinelli just really couldn't get out of that offside position. Nice little set, though, for the finish. So Manchester United having to do some early defending here. So Rice's corner. Drills it in! Oh! Partey was in there, just needed a touch and it's just gone wide of the post. Very, very good ball in. Yeah, great delivery into the near post. Pace and wit. You can see Thomas Partey. It's just, it almost comes a little bit low across the front of him and he can't get his head on it. Yeah. And he just hits his shoulder. He knows that's a big chance. So does his manager. And now that, that should easily be cut out by Rice, it is. Now Partey has a bit of time and space on the ball. Looking for the run of Saka. It's a really good pass, actually. Saka trying to get in there with Molassi. And that's another corner, but that was really good play by Partey. I don't think that was, that was not Pakaio Saka's call to win, was it? Lovely little chip over. Good vision from Partey. In behind Molassi. He gets slightly caught square. In it goes. Anana gets his fist to it. Here's Zinchenko. Blocks and the shot comes in. Oh, was it Martinelli? It's off target. It was Martinelli and that was nearly 1-0. Yeah, Zinchenko with the first opportunity. It's not a great punch by Anana this time, but good, good block and defending. Martinelli's just off balance when he strikes it. Just sliding. You can see his foot just goes from under him. His arse will come again. Saliba on to Saka. A bit of space for Saka this time. Still Saka. Drills it across. Seem to strike Maguire and Anana clears it for another corner. Yeah, it did seem to strike Maguire. A few hands went up. Give me a slight chance that he's come off his arm. He's trying to put his arm behind his back, but it's in a very convenient position in the end to stop it from going across the goal. De Ligt standing in an offside position. Ball comes in. It's headed back by Maguire. Out by Rice. Back to Mason Mount. He tries a shot, but that's still in play, actually. Maguire will get there. Drills it in. Well defended by Kewes. Well defended by Kivi. Oh, right across. That was very, very close. It was Dalot's effort. Yeah, it was a well-worked free kick, really, because Harry Maguire was left sort of alone at that far post. Headed it back. Ball came out and then Dalot with a great strike flashed across Rea's goal. Now Arsenal break with Martinelli. Bit of space to roam here. Martinelli shoots, deflects and it's a comfortable save at the end for Anana. That was an opportunity there. Martinelli going what looks like for the far post or even maybe through the legs of Maguire, but the central defender has had a pretty good game up until now. Does what he needed to do. On to Partey. Flag stays down. Timbers in an advanced position. Pull back here. Udagard. Then Rice. It's gone over the top. It has deflected. It is a corner. Yeah, I'm not sure whether it was on target. We'll see, but Partey redeems himself with a lovely ball over to Saku. Cuts it back first to Udagard. Couldn't find the space. Sets Rice, but he's leaning back. One back by the Gunners. Good footwork. Udagard's getting onto it to Martinelli. And he wins another corner. Frustrating the Arsenal winger a little bit there, but Beckham-Rice with another opportunity to put a corner in from this left-hand side. In swinging. Corner comes in. Flicked it and in this time! And Arsenal have taken the lead! They lead 1-0 and they celebrate right in front of their fans. Yeah, they've been causing problems all game. Anana is almost nailed to his line. That ball, that delivery into the near post with pace, just at the right height. And Timbers' timing of his run just glances it and everybody just watches it fly into the back of the net. It's no more than Arsenal deserve, but we can see it here, Tim. Great ball in. It's a really difficult ball to deal with from a defensive point of view. Arsenal really are playing well at the moment. Can they capitalise on a second goal? Partey out to Saka. Udagard. That's beautiful! Oh, nearly 2-0 from Saka. What a wonderful little move, but the flag has gone up. It wouldn't have counted, but terrific play by Udagard. Fair play to Anana, took a gamble at the near post, because he left that back post wide open. Decent save, but as you say, would have been offside anyway. So Reiss's corner. It's a beautiful corner again, but right across. How did that not go into the net? It's another corner. It looks like Xherxey may have got the last touch, but it's a carbon copy of the goal. It's whipped into that near post area. Any touch could take it in and it's Xherxey who gets the first touch. Fernandes clips one in. Header comes in. It's a great save by Raya. That was a wonderful save. Well, it's a great ball in. It was almost flighty, didn't have too much pace, but Raya was equal to it with his left hand. I think it was maybe not enough pace on the header to give him real problems, Tim, but still a good save. Into the last 20, Arsenal leading by a goal to nil. Udagard loses out now. But it's gone for a corner. Hamilton Udagard rallies the fans again. It's a real test of the Arsenal players' game management now, as well as anything. Saka corner. Arsenal looking to double their lead. Turn it across and in! Bundled in from close range. And William Saliba celebrates with the fans as Arsenal lead by two goals to nil. Oh, that'll be devastating for the United manager. A goal from another set piece. This time it goes to the far right. It's just fantastic deliveries. Saliba is claiming the goal. He's the one who knee-slid into the corner flag to celebrate with the fans. They were absolutely loving him. Here we can see it again. Deliveries hanging around the back post, Saliba. He moves into the far side of Anan apart. He heads it back. And Saliba finds himself in the right position. And he just guides it in just over his shoulder. It's a lovely little nod from him. Actually comes off his hip in the end, I think, Tim. Great to get that second goal in the bag. But still got to be careful because if United get that one goal, it gets them back in with a chance. But that's a beautiful skill by Udagard. They're in again! Havertz! Oh, saved by Anan. Arsenal have been so good in this second half. Oh, Havertz made it a bit easy for him. Anan has just blocked the near post. Sat down on his knees just so that he stopped the ball that goes through him. Stayed strong and it's good goalkeeping. Another Arsenal corner. In from Saka. Mourinho heads it down! Oh, nearly was! The amount of space and what it's coming from is Manchester United are zonally defending. So no one's really picking anybody up until they come into their area. And it's easy for Mourinho. It is Fernandes. Goes short. Anthony in space! Raya makes the save. What a cool chest bat by Kivijor. Well, you've got to say it was a well-worked free kick. Arsenal, I wouldn't say fell asleep, but failed to recognise the danger of Anthony. And he just drifts into that little position. Lovely first touch. It needs to do better though. Doesn't make Raya work hard enough. If you're going to shoot, you can't shoot with your side foot from there. You've got to drive it. It's got to be low. There's something about big games under the floodlights. Obviously, you've played in many as a player yourself, David. They're just wonderful nights. And Arsenal have picked up the three points. And they've been terrific value for it. What was an excellent second half performance. They closed the gap to seven points at the top behind Liverpool. It's a big three points. Arsenal two, Manchester United nil.
