Granit Xhaka and Danny Welbeck scored for Arsenal, as they
defeated Manchester United 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Jose Mourinho made eight changes to his United side from
Thursday’s Europa League semi-final tie at Celta Vigo, ahead of the second leg
this week at Old Trafford.
Both teams had chances to score in the first half, but it
was Arsenal who took the lead in the second half. Xhaka unleashed a fierce shot
from distance and saw it deflect over Ander Herrera’s back past David De Gea.
Welbeck doubled the lead against his former club, heading in
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s pinpoint cross.
The win means the Gunners have ended United’s 25-match
unbeaten run in the Premier League.
The last time Mourinho lost, was against Chelsea in October.
