The visitors opened the scoring in the first half. In the 20th minute, after United’s mistake, Havertz crossed low for Trossard to deflect the ball into the back of the goal.
After the goal scored, Arsenal held on to the result until the final whistle of the first half. United did little to scare Raya’s goal.
The pace remained the same in the second half. Needing a draw, United tried to propose the game more, but came up against Arsenal’s good defensive system.
The visitors almost doubled the score in the 33rd minute, when Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli finished after a good save by Onana. United’s goalkeeper would make another great intervention four minutes later, following a shot by Rice.
