Manchester United continued their uprising in the English Premier League, and stopped their guest Arsenal's perfect start in the tournament, after beating them 3-1 today, Sunday, in the top of the matches of the sixth stage of the competition.
United, who managed to compensate for his faltering start in the championship this season, which saw him lose in the first two matches, rose to 12 points, advancing to fifth place in the competition rankings, after achieving his fourth victory in a row.
On the other hand, Arsenal's balance, which won its first five matches in the competition, froze at 15 points, but it remained at the top of the tournament, which it dreams of winning for the first time since the 2003-2004 season.
Young Brazilian Anthony opened the scoring for Manchester United in the 35th minute, to be able to score in his first appearance with the team that he joined this summer from Ajax Amsterdam.
Bukayo Saka scored the equalizer for Arsenal (60), but Marcus Rashford responded with two goals in favor of Manchester United (66 and 75), and thus declared himself the undisputed champion of the meeting after he also made the first goal for his team, which Anthony scored.
For the fourth match in a row, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo sat on the Manchester United bench at the start of the match, before Dutch coach Eric Ten Hag pushed him in the 58th minute instead of Anthony.
Ronaldo wanted to leave Manchester United during the summer transfer period, which ended last Thursday, in search of participation in the current version of the European Champions League, which the "Red Devils" failed to play in after leaving the first four places in the Premier League standings last season.
It is the second victory for Manchester United over Arsenal in the last 3 matches between the two teams in the Premier League, knowing that it is the second victory in a row over the "Gunners", at the "Old Trafford" stadium, which hosted the confrontation.
