Manchester United vs Arsenal- Match Report

15:01

OK, yes I know I am late for this one. But still let's take a look at the game and the Mourinho-Wenger rivalry. Wenger had failed to record a single victory over Mourinho in 13 previous competitive matches and while that run was extended to 14, the Frenchman will have been the happier of the two managers after seeing Giroud cancel out Juan Mata's opener with an 89th-minute header. 
United started the game the livelier and came close to opening the scoring after five minutes as Mata bent a free kick from the edge of the area just wide of the target. 

Few minutes later Theo Walcott flicked Nacho Monreal's cross into the way of Alexis Sanchez but the forward could only head wide from six yards.


 United could have won a penalty when Valencia was bought down by Nacho in the 18-yard but the referee denying the appeal. 


Petr Cech, doing well to tip Mata's low shot in the bottom corner.


 Mata then broke the deadlock in the 68th minute when he finished in the far corner after Herrera's cross.


 Marcas Rojo had the chance to put the game beyond Arsenal's reach when he headed wide Daley Blind's cross.


Arsenal came to life in the stoppage time when substitutes Giroud and Oxlade-Chamberlain combining and rescuing a point for their side.
