Manchester United fell 2-0 to Arsenal 

Ruben Amorim suffered his first Premier League defeat as Manchester United fell 2-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. After a frustrating first half, Arsenal broke the deadlock in the 54th minute when Jurrien Timber headed Declan Rice’s corner past Andre Onana. The hosts doubled their lead with another set-piece, as Bukayo Saka’s cross was headed back by Thomas Partey, allowing William Saliba to finish clinically.

Kai Havertz and substitute Mikel Merino came close to adding a third, but Onana’s sharp saves kept United in the game. Despite the win, Arsenal dropped to third after Chelsea’s 5-1 victory over Southampton but reduced the gap to leaders Liverpool to seven points. Arsenal’s set-piece dominance proved pivotal, with the Gunners scoring a league-high 22 goals from corners since last season, including 10 opening goals—a crucial aspect of their title push.
