Antony was making his first start for the Red Devils and became the first player to score Mikel Arteta's side after the opening five fixtures this season.

Arsenal sought to desperately level terms before the break but failed to convert their chances as United went into the break with a slender lead.

However, the second half resumed and Mikel Arteta's men finally found a response to United's opener after Bukayo Saka struck in the 60th minute to level matters at Old Trafford.

Mikel Arteta's men struggled to impose themselves in the second period and soon got punished again with Marcus Rashford scoring his second of the evening and a brace in the 75th minute to give the hosts a comfortable lead.
