Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United: Gunners bring an end to Solskjaer’s unbeaten run in Premier League [Tweets]

Manchester United’s unbeaten streak under interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came to an end on Sunday, as Arsenal beat them 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

Manchester United’s run of nine consecutive victories away from home came to a crashing halt on Sunday, as Arsenal capitalised on their defensive lapses to beat them 2-0.

The Gunners started the game strongly and were up and running in the 12th minute as David de Gea failed to react to a swerving effort from Granit Xhaka, to make it 1-0 in the favour of the hosts. Manchester United had several chances to get back into the game, but lacked the clinical edge in the final third.

Arsenal then doubled their lead in the 69th minute, when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dispatched a penalty after Fred had fouled Alexandre Lacazette with a clumsy challenge. Manchester United struggled to spark a comeback as the North London outfit held on to an important victory.

The result meant Manchester United dropped down to the fifth spot in the Premier League standings, with Arsenal moving into the fourth place, two points above Solskjaer’s side. And here’s how the Red Devils’ supporters reacted to a disappointing result on Sunday.

Some fans were critical of goalkeeper David de Gea, who remained rooted for Xhaka’s effort from distance while he left a lot to be desired with his kicking as well.

Fred also found himself facing the ire of the supporters, mere days after putting in his best display for Manchester United against PSG. The Brazilian gave away the penalty that put paid to the Red Devils’ hopes of mounting another comeback.
