Arsenal 3-1 Manchester United: Gabriel Jesus Brace Secures Victory for Gunners
Red Devils' Losing Streak Continues
Declan Rice Hails Arsenal Performance
Arsenal continued their impressive start to the Premier League season with a 3-1 victory over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Goals from Gabriel Jesus (2) and Granit Xhaka secured the win for the Gunners, while Antony Elanga netted a consolation for United.
The hosts took the lead in the 12th minute when Jesus tapped home from close range after Bukayo Saka's cross found him unmarked at the back post. They doubled their advantage just five minutes later when Xhaka curled a stunning long-range effort into the top corner.
United pulled a goal back in the 32nd minute when Elanga fired in a low shot from inside the box. However, Arsenal restored their two-goal lead just before half-time when Jesus headed home from Oleksandr Zinchenko's cross.
The second half was a more even affair, with both sides having chances to score. However, Arsenal held on to secure the victory and extend their unbeaten run to five matches.
The result leaves United with just one win from their opening six Premier League games, increasing the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.
Speaking after the match, Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice hailed his team's performance.
"We were brilliant today," said Rice. "We played with intensity and purpose from the start and we never let United get a foothold in the game. This is a big win for us and it shows that we are genuine title contenders this season."
