EPL Day 7: Aubameyang rescue Arsenal to settle for a DRAW at Old Trafford - Manchester United 1 - 1 Arsenal

Aubameyang scored his seventh Premier League goal of the season in seven Premier League games for the Gunners.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's seventh Premier League goal of the season earned Arsenal a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford. 

 

 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made three changes from the 2-0 defeat to West Ham. Axel Tuanzebe, Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba came into the starting XI, replacing Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Nemanja Matic and Juan Mata. Wan-Bissaka was missing from the squad altogether,

17-year-old striker Mason Greenwood was left on the bench after Marcus Rashford was passed fit. Pogba made his 100th Premier League appearance and Tuanzebe retained his place after captaining Manchester United in their EFL Cup win over Rochdale

 

Unai Emery made two changes for Arsenal from their 3-2 win over Aston Villa. Calum Chambers and Lucas Torreira replaced Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Dani Ceballos.

Bukayo Saka became the youngest Arsenal player to start this fixture in Premier League history at 18 years and 25 days old.

 

 

Shortly after David De Gea's double save denied Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Matteo Guendouzi, Scott McTominay's superb 45th-minute shot from the edge of the area gave Man Utd the lead.

 

Arsenal equalised on 58 minutes when Aubameyang dinked the ball over De Gea after Saka's pass. He was initially deemed offside but the decision was overturned by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review.

Saka's close-range shot was deflected over by Victor Lindelof shortly after, before Paul Pogba's curling shot fizzed narrowly wide and Marcus Rashford's stoppage-time free-kick was pushed out by Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Man Utd drop down to 10th with nine points and Arsenal remain in fourth with 12 points.
