Premier League LIVE: Arsenal vs Manchester United – build-up, team news, live text & radio commentary

Matheus Cunha scored a spectacular decisive goal for Manchester United as they beat Premier League leaders Arsenal in a five-goal thriller at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners’ first home defeat of the season, following wins at title rivals Manchester City and Aston Villa, means their lead has been reduced to four points.

Arsenal started the match extremely well, taking the lead when United defender Lisandro Martinez put the ball into his own net in the 29th minute.

The hosts gave Manchester United a way back into the match when Martin Zubimendi’s loose pass allowed Bryan Mbeumo to score on goal and the United striker calmly stepped past David Raya and put the ball into an empty net.

United then shocked the home side, taking the lead five minutes into the second half thanks to a superb strike from Patrick Dorgu, who fired a shot under the crossbar.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta attempted to force a turnaround in the match by making a quadruple change, starting Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, Mikel Merino and Ben White. It was Merino who thought he had saved at least a point when he headed home from a corner in the 84th minute.

However, just three minutes later, substitute Cunha collected a pass from Kobbie Mainoo and curled a superb strike into the bottom corner from around 25 yards out.

This victory places Manchester United in fourth place.
