Finally, Mikel Arteta is on the winning column with his first
win in the helm of the Gunners against Manchester United unbeaten in two matches
and looking to score a notable win on the road.
With a couple of goals from Nicolas Pepe and Sokratis
both in the first half, the Gunners displayed an upgraded and pristine defensive
game to come up with a big win that for sure will uplift the Gunners spirits.
For Manu is looking to raise many struggling teams’ momentums,
first against Watford catapulting this team winning streak since that loss and
today will do the same for Arsenal drive in the remainder of the season.
However, with today's win, the mood in Emirates was
something not felt for a while and after seeing an old favorite now converted
as their manager, their hopes are somehow on the up to see a return to their old
winning ways.
As the home side immediately going to work it was Pepe
the record signing player the Gunners opened the score with a brilliant shoot
in the 8’ minute, taking advantage with a ricocheting ball got on the Ivorian feet
just to push the ball and score.
The opportunities continued for the locals as Lacazette,
Torrera, Aubameyang, and Pepe shot hitting the post, a continuance of the
Gunners to score as well exposing a feeble visitor’s defensive backfield going
from bad to worse.
In the 42’ minute opportunity knocked again for Arsenal when
fortunes shifted for Sokratis taking a rebound from a De Gea stopping the ball
and on the flick, the Greek push the ball to score the insurance goal and his
second of the season.
Arsenal held its lead firmly on the lead closing with
a high note the first half with a nice stop of a Harry Maguire shoot stopped by Bernd
Leno and go to halftime with the lead and close a second half with a great
defensive game.
By stopping any move of the Red Devils attack cold and
not allowing them any liberties, this win delivered three valuable points and a
move to tenth place with 27 points and within 9 points of fourth-place Chelsea.
