TWO late, late goals from Delcan Rice and Gabriel Jesus sealed a joyous last-gasp victory for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal on a dramatic Sunday afternoon in North London.
Just as a lively game appeared to be heading for a draw, Arsenal showed tremendous character to dig deep and beat United. First £105m record signing Rice fired home in a crowded box to put the home side 2-1 ahead in the 96th minute, prior to substitute Gabriel Jesus slotting home a third in front of a delirious crowd.
Earlier, during a feisty and frenetic opening, Kai Havertz fluffed his lines when miskicking from six yards out with the goal at his mercy, as the Gunners chased an opener in the glorious September sunshine.
