Incredible! Who thoughts Arsenal will be beaten by ManU when you look on the previous rounds! A successful winning story for Arteta stopped by Ten Hag.

Yeah they totally got us and they really played good football. They caught us by surprise in lot of counter-attacking moments but thats what happens when we lose the ball too cheaply. Well lot of lesson to be learnt from today's game.

Maguire joined the game this time in the last minutes of the game when ManU were leading by 2 goals difference and he got a yellow card 1 minute after...

While the whole game I might not be in the best mood but that totally got me.

You might want to check the score again, the stubborn Brighton got another goal to prove the ref and VAR wrong.  Trossard got a descent goal that has given them an advantage. It is not clear if the game will end in draws because Brighton is building  up for another goal.

As I still type, it is a penalty for Brighton and they are going to make it 4goals now. There is no room for draw again.

Edit: Allister has gotten the goal he was denied of by Var. Ndidi is guilty but it's notnhis fault, Rodgers should stop playing him in defence

I actually did after posted that, that bet ended up losing and they scored like a minute after it was posted. No biggie, I won another bet on Manchester United with the exact same odds and stake so yeah abit profit. I wish I had put in more stake for Manchester United to win though, I guess I might starting from next week lol

[Kayeshlyn]

Overall Manchester United's game was quite good in all respects and I think that gradually Ten Hag's tactics began to integrate with Manchester United's style of play.

No, I don't think Manchester United has been good overall. They still have weaknesses defensively because I really think the Arsenal striker is capable of creating a lot of chances. Jesus, Saka, and several other players managed to get a chance but, the finishing that was less than optimal meant that Arsenal failed to score more than one goal.

Ronaldo who replaced Antony was still unable to score goals, nor did he contribute much to the team especially when he came off the bench. But Rashford who scored 2 goals in this match must be the man of the match, he is very fast on the counter-attack.

And in my opinion on the contrary, Arsenal's defense is weaker than Manchester United and all the goals scored by Manchester United are because of Arsenal's defense which in my opinion is weaker than Manchester United and also not able to defend Rashford well.
and Arsenal had a hard time scoring goals because of Mancheter United's excellent defense and also the discipline that made it difficult for all Arsenal strikers to score goals, everyone knows a lot of goals are scored because of a weak defense.
Erik teng will field Ronaldo when Rashford gets into trouble and hoping to add another goal is his strategy, but Ronaldo has yet to find a player who can understand his game. And short play he still managed to get past the Arsenal defense but 2 chances due to a wrong pass and a slow pass annoyed Ronaldo which should have added to the goal and I'm sure if he had started from the start he would have scored.

and if I look at Arsenal's game and I admit Arsenal are a dangerous team for the opponent because their attack is very good.

I saw nothing wrong with Arteta's strategy today, even though Arsenal suffered their first defeat of the season, short foot-to-foot balls are still an attraction to watch them play, but they still often lose the ball when entering the opponent's penalty area, so the momentum to score is lost. Overall I think Arsenal played well today.

And Manchester United's victory over Arsenal is an important capital in starting the Europa League match, especially Marcus Rashford's brilliant performance today after scoring two goals and one assist, will certainly inspire United's players to play well when hosting Real Sociedad at Old Trafford on Next Thursday.

Overall I think Arsenal played well today.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with Arteta's strategy i think united improvement on their defense made it look like Arteta had a poor game plan. Arsenal made an excellent game play but had most of their chances defended.

And Manchester United's victory over Arsenal is an important capital in starting the Europa League match, especially Marcus Rashford's brilliant performance today after scoring two goals and one assist, will certainly inspire United's players to play well when hosting Real Sociedad at Old Trafford on Next Thursday.

Marcus was super impressive. His assist to Anthony was one i list expected because unlike Rashford he will want to make attempts alone but he decided another assist today against Arsenal just like he did for Sancho against Leicester City.

Yes it is. It's unbelievable. Manchester United works wonders and now we can say for sure that the team is really strong this season. As it turned out, the first losing matches were not a manifestation of the weakness of this team, but just a failure. I'm afraid to imagine what will happen next if Manchester United continues to play at the same level. They have a match with Manchester City in a month. Now I'm not sure about the advantage of M.City. The 3-1 score is very serious, almost devastating, and the gap of 2 goals is significant. This is not just luck, but an indicator of the superiority of Manchester United over Arsenal in this match. Still, how unpredictable football is: the team that started the best at the beginning of the season turns out to be the loser from the team whose start was just terrible. That's the beauty of football.

That's right, it's not just luck now Manchester United have their best coach again. But their team is actually good, it's just that past mistakes have shocked the world with the actions of defenders, but if we look at the historical records of the players, it's not impossible that their squad can appear solid and dangerous. I'm sure other top clubs would be just as surprised, and will prepare if their match vs the red devil. Yesterday I posted and said arsenal will be happy because see Manchester City get a draw result, now Arsenal are hit by lose of points "so bad".

[Davidvictorson]

Now they are fifth and they are doing well. I think Ronaldo situation is fixed as well, he got into the game in second half, and he looks like he is going to play and enjoy there. The only way would be him getting fired, and that is not going to happen.

My belief in Erik Ten Hag and the team is starting to become firm. Although, I still think Ronaldo needs more game time. I mean, it will take a long time for me to adjust to seeing him on the bench or coming in as a sub. For me he is being underutilized. For example, during the game, I counted about 3 chances which he created. Now can you imagine if Erik Ten Hag had brought him in earlier in the game. We would have seen more goal scoring chances.

Two tests from big team have been passed by Manchester United with wins, after Manchester United started the League with 2 consecutive defeats, Ten Hag immediately made a change in strategy in his team. Victory over Liverpool became the beginning of Manchester United revival, they continued to get wins in the next match, and Manchester United managed to get four consecutive wins after beating Arsenal. Before the match against Arsenal started, many predicted this Big Match match would end in a draw, but unexpectedly Manchester United managed to give Arsenal their first defeat of the season.

[SatoPrincess]

It seems Arsenal winning streak has come to an end in the hands of Manchester United. I was worried when Arsenal got the equalizer in the second half, I knew if Manchester United lost or had a draw all the blame would fall to Ronaldo. It's remaining 20 mins on the clock, Maguire is warming up, he has the hand band. They stand the risk of conceding to a classic Harry Maguire mistake

There was some doubt when Maguire came on to the pitch, luckily he didn't make a fatal mistake tonight  . Maguire did commit a serious foul and received a yellow card, but it had to be done so that Man United did not concede because of a mistake made by Casemiro.

It looks like Man United will be back on the title race this season. I know, there's still a long way to go but if we see that they are successfully beat Liverpool and they managed to stop Arsenal's winning streak and get full points, isn't that proof that they've improved and deserves to be a serious contender in the Premier League?

The loud roar from the home fans when Harry Maguire came on the pitch shows the fans do not trust the decision of Erik Ten Hag to bring Harry Maguire  in the second half of the game. No one seems to have faith in Maquire anymore his continues mistakes have been a big problem for him. Thank God he didn't put up his normal show today it would have been disastrous and would end up increasing his stay on the bench.

FULL TIME... BRIGHTON 5:2 LIECESTER

It is now very obvious that very obvious that Brighton was stronger than Leicester in every angle. I don't know but I fear that Rodgers risks sack if he doesn't upturn his poor performance.  Is it because of Folana that went to Chelsea that made Leicester defence to collapse. They have conceived high number of goals  and is able to get 1 point from six Premier league matches.

Next is Arsenal vs Manchester United, new signing Anthony appeared for the United and Ronaldo again is seen on the bench.

It is difficult for Leicester to develop their game in this match because if you look at Brighton they play very neatly and their cooperation is very well established.
Leicester at the start of this season were completely destroyed and I think with their current condition the dark horse nickname will go away from them this season. They have to make a new breakthrough if they really want to stay in the first caste because until now 6 matches have been run they are still at the bottom of the standings with 1 point and this is the worst season for Leicester after several seasons of good performances.

I am seeing more problems for Liecester Fc. I checked their next fixtures and discovered that they might not be able to win their next two fixtures.  On 10th September, they will have to face Aston Villa, and I am sure they will not be able to get three points from Aston Villa. After that match, on the 17th of September is a match against Tottenham which might be another defeat for them. Maybe they will have to wait till 3rd October to get their first winning from Nottingham Forest.

Really shocking performance from Leicester City after today match now I am feeling there is no chance for them to survive as they are going down day by day and have no quality and any specialty to survive from these worst defeats which are occurring and as they are conceding goals look like we will have new record in Premier League for most conceding goals.

Folana departure is having impact on their defense then why management done nothing for replacement because they have to check things for better results now after six games they have only 1 point and most chances as they are playing there is the worst time coming for them in this season if they are not going to change their strategy and game with better quality.

There is no doubt both teams done amazing job but resurgent Manchester United is more lethal than any team right now their confidence level is also going high after every win specially Ten Haq new strategy is also going to their favor all players feeling comfortable with this even now Ronaldo is also having good time even mostly coming as part-time but good for him and his better performance for rest of his career.

Now with this win Manchester United is at fifth in league table with most chances they will improve their spot in coming weeks, and we will have tough challenge between top ranked teams which are fighting hard for title race in this season Arsenal is still good and can maintain their momentum because they are better than expectations but need some better passing and their midfield is having some issue which needs to settle as soon as possible.

For example, during the game, I counted about 3 chances which he created. Now can you imagine if Erik Ten Hag had brought him in earlier in the game. We would have seen more goal scoring chances. 

I don't know for sure what are Erik ten hag's reasons for continually leaving Ronaldo out of the starting eleven, but i think it is because of the issues he was having with the club before the close of the transfer window, he had some disciplinary issues, and maybe Erik is leaving him out of the starting eleven to set the records straight that he is the manager and is completely in charge of the team; another reason could be that the team is winning, the strategy is working, so why change it he may think.

Having said that, i think Ronaldo should be starting in this Manchester United team, aside the fact that i love seeing him play, i think he is much better than some of the attackers that are starting ahead of him, and if he is given the opportunity to play more games, he will definitely help the team. Ronaldo looks happy on the outside, but i know deep down in his heart he can't be happy staying on the bench, so i wonder for how long he would be able to contain his emotions if Erik continues to bench him.

Brighton are a stronger side than Everton, with the way things are going and the performance of Liecester City this season I have a feeling Rodgers might be sacked sooner or later. Liecester City's performance has been really poor, if they continue like this they can end up going on relegation but I'm really wondering why they decided to sell Fofana for profit when they needed the player more.

[TheGreatPython]

Quality is so poor in the PL this season. My team (Liverpool) have had our worst start to a season in a long time but we’re only 6 points off 1st place. Gives me confidence that we’ll start climbing the table now, all our injured players are returning from injury.

I think Man City clearly have the best squad in the country but they’ve looked vulnerable this season dropping points in 2 out of 6 games. Should be 3 out of 6, that Crystal Palace game, VAR disallowed a perfectly legit goal at 2-0 Palace.

Any way, CL action midweek, should be fun.

If you are able to check then surely go ahead because quality is surely poor and not only in Premier League many other leagues are also suffering from this badly and most of the top rank teams are having the worst time as they are losing points against weaker sides which is concern for them, and they need to do better strategy for improving things in coming matches right now it is just end of 6 rounds, and we have 32 more rounds which mean many ups and downs going to happen here in Premier League with after today match Manchester United vs Arsenal now I am feeling title race is wide open any team can go at top Liverpool is also suffering, but they will recover this very soon as they are also in early stages.

Manchester City is surely had some luck just because of this VAR is also favoring them, and they are taking good advantage of this, hopefully now in future they will do better judgement in these decisions.

[SatoPrincess]

I can't believe Manchester United came back from losing two games to winning four including wins from the big clubs, first Liverpool and today Arsenal. Erik Ten Hag has managed to get back the rhythm for Manchester United and they are playing like a totally transformed team. I would have loved to see Ronaldo score his first premier league goal this season, maybe next game against Manchester City.

[Issa56]

Incredible! Who thoughts Arsenal will be beaten by ManU when you look on the previous rounds! A successful winning story for Arteta stopped by Ten Hag.

Manchester united played incredible ball today, I don't really believe Manchester united will win the match, actually the two teams performed well but Arsenal couldn't score more than one goal, I was suprise that Manchester united scored three goals in the match, I can now say Manchester united are back to form, because they played very good ball today compared to what they played in their last two matches.

[baeva]

Snip

Haha, Manchester United at Old Trafford is the evilest form of the red devil. I was hoping for a draw against Arsenal at best but Manchester United far exceed it. A win for Manchester United at 3-1, can you believe it? Stop Arsenal's 5 winning streaks too. Truly, never underestimate Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Very many expect this match to end in a draw, because both teams are on a winning trend. The depth of the two teams is also very balanced, moreover Arsenal have an unbeaten record when they go to Old Trafford. What Manchester United showed at Old Trafford was extraordinary, they did not want to share points with Arsenal, Manchester United also played very dominantly by installing the best squad. Coming to Old Trafford became an unforgettable experience for Arsenal, because there they were given the gift of the first defeat by Manchester United.

Wow, I was watching the game and I can tell you that MU looked a lot better in this game than they did last season in all the games combined, they were on fire today. That's how I want to see MU all the time, but their instability doesn't allow it. I think Arsenal were ready for any outcome, I think they are not afraid to lose their first game of the season, though it's a shame

[BIT-BENDER]

And just like that no body has a hundred percent record anymore in the English premier league. This was the test that many would have used to confirm if Arsenal is the force we should fear this season but they really blew the test and Manchester United exposed and beat the 3:1.

Arsenal has had a not so excellent last few game building up to this one and has struggled with the win and Manchester United is on a pick up phase, Arsenal still has a good claims to the English premier league this season but recent history shows a loss like this could be a Turing point to the Gunners season and they could probably be heading to rock bottom from now, let's hope that's not the case.

[Piesel]

The truth is Arsenal is now on a reset mode because once they have lost to Manchester United today, the next 5 matches will be tough for Arsenal, today's match was an unexpected loss to Arsenal as many of the club fans were expecting a winning or draw in the game today.

Manchester United on the lead this season, even though Arsenal is still topping the table with Manchester City following behind.

A reset mode? I don't think so. I think it would be more appropriate to call it the first serious test for Arsenal.  
If they got the first loss today, it may be caused they are not ready for the match today. In 5 early matches, they were only against small teams, surely they were easy to win and get full points. Arsenal will evaluate their tactics after this loss, they may play with a new tactic and a new starting lineup when they play again with another strong team later.
