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.

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.
