The game was decided before it was played, yet the result was beyond prediction. Arsenal, whom midfield became unarmed due to the transfer of its top midfield players Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona and Samir Nasri to Manchester City. Arsenal was simply bombed. Arsen Wenger was to be blamed by the fans because he simply didn't have any good back up players. Should he be blamed ? Well, he needs to fix his squad. Sir Alex released some of the pressure of the Arsenal Manager before the match because he was receiving too many bad critics.
The match kicked off and was simply rocked by the goals it included. Danny Welbeck opened it for United during the 23rd minute with a stunning header after being given a great cross by Wayne Rooney. Danny Welbeck was substituted after the goal due to a hamstring injury. Chicharito came on for him yet didn't score any goal. Arsenal where given a penalty in only a few minutes from the opener. Johnny Evans pulled Theo Wallcot and was given a yellow card. As the penalty was struck by Robin Van Persie, David De Gea made a wonderful save and gained a huge self confidence. De Gea also made some great saves after saving the penalty. After 2 minutes from the penalty, Ashley Young scored one of most spectacular goals ever. He came from the side, looked for some space, and struck the ball from outside the penalty box, and finally, had the ball coming inside the corner of the goal making it difficult for any goal keeper to save. After that, United where given a free kick during the 41st minute. Rooney lined it up, and scored his first free kick goal of the season wonderfully. The first half ended from a goal by Theo Wallcot to make it 3 - 1 for Arsenal.
The second half was even better for United, yet terrible for Arsenal. Wayne Rooney started the fiesta of goals with another spectacular free kick during the 64th minute, while Nani made it 5 - 1 for United during the 67th minute after scoring a super lobbed goal. Nani was substituted by Park Ji Sung who came on to make it 6 - 1 for United during the 70th minute. Park's goal was beautifully struck and well aimed. Although Robin Van Persie was able to score another goal for Arsenal yet, it was nothing but a conciliation goal since Rooney received his hatrick during the 81st minute from a well struck penalty. Ashley Young simply wrapped it up for United during the 91st minute and in extra time after having scored another curved shot that flew directly into the corner of the goal again. United played one of the most fantastic games ever tonight having scored 8 goals in a 10 goal game. It was super for United, lets hope the season is ours again this years. Good luck reds, and hard luck for Arsenal who will badly look back and learn from today's match.
