Matheus Cunha fired a surprising winner in the 87th minute as Premier League leaders Arsenal lost 3-2 to Manchester United through a thrilling comeback at the Emirates Stadium, reducing Arsenal’s advantage over the team in the second position to four points.
The league leaders, who were currently getting the pressure from Manchester City and Aston Villa earlier in the weekend, scored the first goal just before the half-hour mark when Lisandro Martinez inadvertently kicked the ball into his own goalpost.
Manchester United fired a comeback before the end of the first half after Bryan Mbeumo capitalized on an expensive mistake from Martin Zubimendi to make it a draw.
Manchester United perfected the turnaround as the second half began when Patrick Dorgu fired a bouncing shot in off the crossbar.
Mikel Merino, who was introduced to the match as a substitute, fired to make it a level, but Cunha’s determination earned United a stunning distance shot effort less than three minutes after.
This victory makes it the second for the Red Devils in a row under me, coach Michael Carrick, helping them get into fourth place above Chelsea and Liverpool.
