Manchester United beats Gunners at Old Trafford!

Once again it was a wonderful display of passing and finishing by Arsenal without playmaker Fabregas. Arsenal bowed to Manchester United cheaply with a penalty which came out of a foul from goalkeeper Almunia and great header from Diaby on his own net. The match also saw Arsene Wenger sent off out of the ground for kicking a water bottle.

Arsenal started with a 4-3-3 line up and played well with the limited possession Manchester United gave them. ManU where in complete control of the match with possession. Gunners won lot of balls with good tackles but seemed to be giving away the ball cheaply to ManU players. Van Persie had been in the worst form ever this season with showing how bad he is at finishing the balls.

Arsene Wenger tried all his cards with substituting Bendtner, Ramsey and Eduardo which was of no use. Arsenal entered the scoresheet with the mighty kick from Arshavin after the foul on him by Fletcher inside the penalty area which was left unnoticed by the referee who had already given 5 yellow cards including 4 Arsenal players and 1 United player by that time. ManU goals came from a penalty from Rooney and own goal from Diaby.

The highlight of the match was the biased refereeing which had been a highlight in any old trafford match. I still don't understand why is there no questioning on this? Why no one cares for the discrimination? Why is any team playing at old trafford cheated always? These question needs to be answered with some clarity and hope in the coming matches it works out better.

The only player who had some good day was Vermaelen. He was good at his marking, tackling and clearance. All the other players on Arsenal shirts were terrible today and hope this is due to the tiredness from the number of matches they are playing nowadays and not the lose of form. We will come back strong and will try our best to win something this season. Let's wait and watch
