It was late and it was great for Arsenal as Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka helped their side continue their Premier League title push with a 3-2 home win against Manchester United.
In a dramatic and eventful 90 minutes that evoked memories of titanic title tussles of years gone by, it was the visitors that got themselves in front with a stunning strike from the in-form Marcus Rashford. Nketiah’s first of the day ensured the two sides went into half-time on level-terms before Saka’s sumptuous strike put Mikel Arteta’s men in front for the first time in the game.
Lisandro Martinez’s header looked to have claimed a share of the spoils for the Red Devils but Nketiah picked the perfect time to grab his second goal of the day and secure the points for his side with just a minute left on the clock.
