GOAL! Arsenal 0-2 Manchester United (Lingard)

11' - What a goal! Shkrodan Mustafi is dispossessed by Jesse Lingard deep inside the Arsenal half and the Manchester United man knocks the ball back to Romelu Lukaku, who drives forward with it before passing to Anthony Martial. The Frenchman produces an exquisite first-time flick to send Jesse Lingard in on goal and he finishes with aplomb, slotting the ball home off Petr Cech's far post.

18' - United break well again from an Arsenal corner and it's Romelu Lukaku, who has started this game superbly, who bursts past Aaron Ramsey down the right before looking for Anthony Martial at the far post. Hector Bellerin gets their ahead of the Frenchman though and clears the danger.

20' - Close! Arsenal almost get back in the game through Alexandre Lacazette but his effort from inside the six-yard box is straight at David de Gea and the ball eventually goes out for a goal-kick.

27' - Arsenal are committing a lot of players forward every time they attack but that's leaving them exposed at the back. Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku look so dangerous for United on the counter.
