Three things we learned from Arsenal - Manchester United
1. Big six stumbles continue for Solskjaer: If Manchester United fails to achieve any of their season goals, please feel free to trace them back to their record against traditional powers. United has scored one goal in six games against Man City, Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea, losing two and drawing four.
Oct. 4 – Man Utd 1-6 Spurs
Oct. 24 – Man Utd 0-0 Chelsea
Nov. 1 – Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal
Dec. 12 – Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Jan. 17 – Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United
2. And Arsenal has raised its game versus big cats: Given the absences of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Bukayo Saka, and Kieran Tierney, you have to figure that the Gunners will be the happier of the two sides. If Arsenal does makes its way back into the top four, it will be because they beat Spurs and Chelsea and took four points off United before finding their very best this season. Is that very best to come? Hard to say, but remember Saturday come the end of the campaign.
Sept. 28 – Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal
Oct. 17 – Man City 1-0 Arsenal
Nov. 1 – Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal
Dec. 6 – Spurs 2-0 Arsenal
Dec. 26 – Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea
3. Solskjaer plan derailed by change: A match with 26 shot attempts saw only six on target, and David De Gea and Bernd Leno were hardly challenged by monstrous efforts for most of the day. David Luiz and Harry Maguire marshaled their back lines well, but how might the match have looked had Scott McTominay’s injury pulled Paul Pogba deeper and put an out-of-form Anthony Martial back into the game? We won’t know, but it’s hard to imagine that it wouldn’t have delivered better entertainment.
Man of the Match: Nicolas Pepe
Three key passes, 7-of-11 on duels, and the top scoring threat for either side, Pepe will have wished to find the breakthrough goal but his day was just ahead of Harry Maguire and Granit Xhaka in terms of impact on his team’s result.
