Arsenal, on Sunday, moved five points clear of the Premier League table with a game in hand following a 3-2 win over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.
United forward, Marcus Rashford, silenced the home fans with the opening goal but an equaliser from Eddie Nketiah and a wonderful second-half strike from Bukayo Saka turned the match on its head.
The visitors levelled the pulsating encounter when Argentine defender, Lisandro Martinez, headed in after Arsenal failed to clear a corner.
