November 1, 2020, Old Trafford, Manchester, UK | Manchester United and Arsenal have played out some truly memorable fixtures in years past.
Neutral observers hoped that this top-billed matchup of the Top Flight will produce a spectacle worthy of the prestige of these two clubs.
Unfortunately for neutrals, these two storied clubs didn’t quite live up to the billing, despite the fact that Arsenal won away at Old Trafford for the first time in 14 years.
That’s quite the hoodoo to snap and Arteta’s Gunners and Arsenal supporters will hope they can carry this momentum into their upcoming fixtures. Make no mistake, though, this was a scruffy 1-0 win, but one Arsenal will happily take.
Manchester United, however, will be bitterly disappointed to lose and to lose in the fashion they did. This result will leave supporters scratching their heads, wondering how the fluency of their 5-0 win over RB Leipzig dissipated from this side so quickly.
