Arsenal dished out a clinical performance against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners scored twice in the match to give the Red Devils a taste of defeat for the first time under their interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the Premier League this season.
Granit Xhaka scored from a long-range shot that deceived David De Gea completely in the first half. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the second goal for his side with a cool spot-kick after Alexandre Lacazette was brought down into the box by Fred in the second half to seal all three points.
This win against Manchester United consolidates the position for Arsenal at the fourth spot in the Premier League table. The Gunners now have just one point separating them and north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who are currently at the third place and lost their last match to Southampton.
The win sent the Arsenal fans into a frenzy as they took to Twitter to show their reactions on this important win against their old foes.
Some people thanked their club as they came back to winning ways after the disappointing defeat against Stade Rennais in the Europa League match.
Thank you @Arsenal ❤️? pic.twitter.com/MlEYuw9VSZ

This tweet from Arsenal’s official Twitter account took the social media by storm as it mocked the famous statement “Ole’s at the wheel” that the Manchester United fans were shouting after their emphatic win against Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League.
