Manchester United Dent Arsenal’s Title Bid With Dramatic 3-2 Win

Manchester United dealt a blow to Arsenal’s title charge in English football’s Premier League as Matheus Cunha’s late stunner clinched a 3-2 win over the leaders.

Lisandro Martinez’s own goal put Arsenal ahead at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, but Bryan Mbeumo equalised before half-time.

Patrick Dorgu’s brilliant blast gave United the lead after the interval, until Mikel Merino’s late leveller looked to have rescued a point for Arsenal.

In a dramatic finish, Brazilian forward Cunha bagged the winner with an eye-catching drive three minutes from full time.

Cunha said it was the type of game he had dreamed of playing at United.

“This is the type of match we watch on television. This is one of the best moments for me here,” he said on Premier League Productions.

“It means everything. This is the type of thing I wanted to do when I came here.”

Arsenal’s skipper Odegaard lamented some of the mistakes that knocked his team off its stride.

“It was never going to be easy. We know every game in this league is a big challenge,” he told Sky Sports.

“Now it is time to work harder than ever. We are still top of the league, so we have to keep going and bounce back straight away.”
