Nuno Tavares tapped in a rebound to give Arsenal an early lead at home to Manchester United.
Tavares was quick to pounce in the box after David De Gea saved after Bukayo Saka attempted to bend one into the far corner.
Tavares has come under cricisim in recent weeks so the goal could give him some much needed confidence.

Harry Maguire was dropped to the bench for this game against Arsenal due to recent events and poor performances, but United’s defensive issues still remain as they concede very early on.
