Man Utd Stun Arsenal with Thrilling Comeback Win
Manchester United dealt a significant blow to Arsenal's title aspirations as they earned a thrilling 3-2 victory over the league leaders at the Emirates Stadium. The result marked United's first win at home against their opponents since December 2017, and it came under the interim management of Michael Carrick.
The Gunners had dominated early on, with Lisandro Martinez scoring an own goal in the 29th minute to give Manchester United an equalizer. However, Bryan Mbeumo restored parity for the visitors before halftime. Patrick Dorgu's impressive strike in the second half put United ahead once again, only for Mikel Merino to level the score late on.
The game took a dramatic turn when Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha scored the winner with an eye-catching drive in the 89th minute. The goal gave United all three points and marked a significant shift in momentum in their favor. The three points also moved them into fourth place, while Arsenal's lead over second-placed Manchester City was reduced.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has faced criticism for his team's recent performances, and this defeat will only add to the pressure on him. The Gunners have not lifted a trophy since 2020, and their struggles in title races are becoming increasingly familiar. With four points separating them from Manchester City and Aston Villa, who both closed the gap with wins over Wolves and Newcastle respectively, Arteta's team face an uphill task.
For United, the win marked a significant improvement under Carrick's interim management. The former Middlesbrough boss has already masterminded victories over top teams to lift his side into contention for European spots. This latest win will only further boost his confidence as he looks to lead United towards a more respectable finish in the season.
Despite their struggles, Arsenal showed glimpses of their quality throughout the game. Bukayo Saka's early strike had given them the lead, and they continued to press hard until Mbeumo equalized before halftime. However, mistakes from both teams ultimately cost them the win, as Cunha's late strike proved decisive in a dramatic finish.
The result also marked Arsenal's first defeat in 13 games across all competitions since losing at Aston Villa in December. The Gunners have struggled to maintain their momentum, and this defeat has raised questions about their ability to cope with pressure. For United, the win was a significant statement of intent as they look to push for European spots under Carrick's guidance.
The title chase continues to heat up, but both Manchester City and Aston Villa are now four points behind Arsenal. The Gunners' lead will be tested in the coming weeks, and their ability to maintain focus under pressure will be crucial. For United, this win marked an important step forward under Carrick as they look to challenge for European spots.

they've been dominating games but still can't seem to hold on to wins...mikel arteta's tactics are being called into question and it's getting harder for him to keep his job 
. meanwhile, man utd is making a statement under michael carrick's leadership 
their win shows that they're capable of competing with the best teams in the league. but at the same time, the pressure on arteta will only increase now that arsenal has lost for the first time in 13 games 
.
. but what's worrying is that arteta's team hasn't lifted a trophy since 2020, so they've been struggling for some time now 
.
This win might've been a fluke, but I bet it was all part of the plan.
. The thing that really caught my eye was how well Michael Carrick did under pressure - he's clearly got some decent management chops 
. And Matheus Cunha's goal? Epic! He's definitely one to watch out for 
. As for Mikel Arteta, I think he'll learn from his team's mistakes and get them back on track soon 
.
Manchester United literally took down arsenal with like a comeback for the ages 3-2 is insane!!! who else saw that game and thought matheus cunha was gonna be the savior of man utd lol his shot in the 89th minute was like pure magic 
what ever happened to arsenal tho??? they just kept giving it away and cant seem to hold on to that lead mikel arteta needs to get his team together ASAP 
anyway, title chase is heating up but i think man city is gonna have to step it up if they wanna keep their lead 
Manchester United totally deserved that win after such a long time of struggling at home against Arsenal. I think their manager Michael Carrick is doing a great job so far with this interim management. He's already shown some amazing skills in beating top teams. 
i was on the edge of my seat when matheus cunha scored that winner in the 89th minute!!! carrick's management skills are looking good under interim he's definitely got some magic up his sleeve 
and man utd finally broke their duck at home against arsenal. mikel arteta's gotta step up his game tho, this defeat won't be easy to swallow for him & the squad 
still, it's gonna be a thrilling ride in the title chase, with city & villa closing in 
...can't say im surprised though, his team has been struggling for ages. cunha's winner was pure magic tho 
can't wait to see what michael carrick does next with the team
just saw this match between Man Utd and Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. What a comeback win for Man Utd 
They finally won against Arsenal after so long. This is massive boost to their title aspirations. Arteta's team were so on top of things but couldn't keep the lead 
. Their lack of discipline and mistakes cost them big time. Cunha's winner was just class, amazing drive
