Arsenal stages an impressive comeback to beat Manchester United 3-2 in a thrilling encounter at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

Eddie Nketiah scored the game-winning goal in the last few minutes of a tense match at the Emirates on Sunday, giving the home fans new hope that this could be their year.

The game against United, who were in good form, was seen as a big test for the Gunners, especially after Manchester City closed the gap at the top of the table to just two points earlier in the day.

It was a challenge they didn’t back down from. After Marcus Rashford scored the first goal, they came back strong and stayed calm when Bukayo Saka scored in the second half.

Arsenal has had their best start to an English Premier League season ever. After 19 games, they have 50 points, five more than defending champions City, who still have one more game to play.

“I don’t think it gets much better than that,” said a buoyant Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta.

“It was a beautiful moment, a really special one because we were pushing and pushing and pushing and the goal wasn’t coming and it came at the end… it was just electric. It was really emotional, really passionate and I lost it.”
