Manchester United played host to Arsenal in the Premier League, as they looked to try and climb to the top of the Premier League table.
The match was turning out to be a rather interesting one, because of the fact that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 was going to make his first appearance against the Gunners, following his move away from the club.
The match kicked off with a bang for the Manchester based club, as they scored in the opening minutes of the game.
In the third minute of the game, Rafael went on to whip in a cross which Vermaelen tried to clear. The defender scuffed his clearance and fell to the ground as the ball landed in the fee of Van Persie. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 man then went on to strike the ball
as he sent it sliding into the far post.
Before the half came to an end United were awarded a penalty. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 stepped up to take the spot kick, as he looked to double United’s lead. However, the United forward sent his effort wide of the mark as the first half ended with United leading the
game by one goal to nil.
The Red Devils went on to double their lead in the 67th minute, as Evra scored for the Manchester based club. Rooney bent in a brilliant cross which beat everyone and fell to Evra. The full back then headed the ball into the back of the net with
ease.
Things got worse for Arsenal in the 69th minute as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463 was shown a second yellow and was given his marching orders.
Arsenal managed to score a consolation goal in the death of the game, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Cazorla-c32505 scored with the last kick of the game.
The midfielder found space in the box and after his initial shot was blocked, he won the ball once again. This time around he sent a fine effort sailing into the far post, as he left De Gea with no chance of keeping his effort out of the goal.
As a result, the match ended with United cruising to a two goals to one win over Arsenal.
