ARSENAL 3-1 MANCHESTER UNITED: Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus scored in stoppage time as the Gunners saw off their rivals in a controversial encounter where VAR had its say

Arsenal star Declan Rice is already paying back his mammoth fee after he scored in stoppage time to see off Manchester United.

VAR intervened to deny the hosts a second-half penalty when Anthony Taylor did think Kai Havertz had been fouled, which left Mikel Arteta less than impressed. Alejandro Garnacho thought he had himself an 89th minute winner, only for VAR to again have its say and curtail the visiting celebrations. 2 Hojlund makes his bow The Dane made his eagerly anticipated debut on Sunday as he was bought on for the final 25 minutes, replacing Anthony Martial, whose minutes could now be at a premium with Rasmus Hojlund fit and available. The youngster quickly made it known to his opposition they were in a physical battle, putting himself about.

If ever there was a moment to sum up why, it was on Sunday at the Emirates. United offered little before Rashford's first-half strike, but with him they always have a threat. All the while Ten Hag doesn't have a potent striker to call upon there will be talk about playing the Englishman centrally, but there's no doubting where he's best, it just depends on whether United can find a reliable man to play in the middle.
