Top form & EPL frontline contender Arsenal defeats Manchester United 2-0

Never in the history of football has a team been such a threat from corners. It is hard to recall such danger being created so often. Being created from every kick, in fact.

Those corners are Arsenal’s lethal weapon; they are their super-strength and so they struck twice more to deservedly gain the victory that cut Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points.

With Chelsea hammering Southampton Arsenal actually dropped down to third on goal difference but, make no mistake, this win over Manchester United was one of their most impressive of this campaign such was the maturity they showed.

In doing so Mikel Arteta inflicted a first defeat on United’s new head Ruben Amorim in what was his fourth game in charge. In fairness Amorim once more rotated his squad, making six more changes to his XI, as he tries to work out what he has inherited. It confirmed again the scale of the task.
