Arsenal vs Manchester United 2-0 Post Match Analysis HD; Mikel Arteta & Solskjaer STUNNED REACTION.
Pépé strikes as Arsenal rediscover their mojo to master Manchester United Arsenal have moved back up to the top-half of the Premier League thanks to a 2-0 win over Manchester United.
The Gunners were without a win in their past four matches but took a two-goal lead into half-time thanks to goals from Nicolas Pepe and Sokratis.
United improved slightly after half-time but Arsenal managed to hold on for Mikel Arteta’s first win.
Mikel Arteta has his first win as the Arsenal manager on the back of a dominant first-half performance against Manchester United and, if there is a distance to cover before past glories are recovered, it is at least a start; a small step in the right direction.
Arsenal had kicked off in 13th place in the Premier League, four points above the relegation zone, and everybody knew another home defeat would have made it four in a row – admittedly not all of them on Arteta’s watch but it would have equalled a club–record low.
Spectral Arteta coaxes Nicolas Pépé back from the living dead
Arteta has advised supporters not to look at the table, merely to judge the performances but it does look a little less gloomy now, with the team back up into the top half...
Moreover, the performance was good, even if it came against a United team who had travelled without their attacking instincts. Arsenal might have scored more in the first-half but as it was, the goals from Nicolas Pépé and Sokratis gave them more than enough to defend after the interval.
United had arrived in decent form, their confidence up and it was a big chance for them to close on fourth-placed Chelsea, who had drawn at Brighton earlier in the day.
The game felt well set for them, given their preference to sting on the counterattack against teams who play on the front foot but they simply never got going.
Even in the second-half, when they had the territorial advantage, they struggled to create too much of clear-cut note.
For United, it had to be filed under bad days at the office. Arteta has demanded intensity and his team started positively, just as they had done against Chelsea on Sunday.
Once again, they took an early lead and it was a big moment for the £72m record signing, Pépé, who profited from close-range after Sead Kolasinac’s low cross had flicked off the inside of Victor Lindelöf’s heel
