Arsenal 2-3 Man United: Dorgu, Cunha score stunners in dramatic win

Manchester United snatched a thrilling late victory at the Emirates Stadium as Matheus Cunha struck a stunning winner to extend Michael Carrick’s impressive revival in charge.

Arsenal made the brighter start and were gifted the opening goal when Lisandro Martinez inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, handing the hosts an early advantage.

United responded through Bryan Mbeumo after a costly error from Martin Zubimendi, who was caught in possession and allowed the forward to finish clinically and restore parity.

United take control

The visitors grew in confidence and took the lead in spectacular fashion.

Patrick Dorgu combined neatly with Bruno Fernandes before unleashing a powerful strike that flew past David Raya, silencing the home crowd and putting United ahead.

Arsenal thought they had rescued a point six minutes from time when Mikel Merino reacted quickest to a scrappy set piece, prodding home to make it 2-2 and spark wild celebrations.

However, the drama was far from over.

Cunha has the final say

Just moments after Merino’s equaliser, Matheus Cunha delivered the decisive blow.

The Brazilian bent a thunderous effort beyond Raya and into the bottom corner, sealing a memorable 3-2 win for United.
