Apart from picking up a yellow card Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta enjoyed the perfect Sunday afternoon as his side completed the first half of their Premier League campaign by reaching 50 points with a 3-2 win over Manchester United.
Two goals by Eddie Nketiah and one from Bukayo Saka -- both products of Arsenal's academy -- sealed the win that lifted Arsenal five points clear of champions Manchester City.
No wonder the Spaniard said "it doesn't get much better than this" as he evaluated a deserved victory over a United side who now find themselves 11 points in arrears. Arsenal had to shake off the blow of going behind to a Marcus Rashford goal and then were pegged back to 2-2 when Lisandro Martinez punished a mistake by home keeper Aaron Ramsdale. But they ended the game in dominant fashion."We were composed and determined at the same time. We managed the moments in the game. We never panicked. We always believed that we could win it," Arteta said.
The way Arsenal won the game made it even more special with Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville saying the Arsenal display was reminiscent of some of the great teams under Arsene Wenger.
