Arsenal utterly dominated Manchester United to inflict Ruben Amorim’s first defeat as Red Devils boss.

Second half goals from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba scored from corners displayed Mikel Arteta’s side’s set-piece prowess, while underlining their title credentials on a memorable night in north London.
