Mikel Arteta's Gunners returned to winning ways against their hosts Manchester United after suffering a lone goal defeat by Leicester City previously.
Arsenal dominated for most of the game and deserved the victory against a dull Red Devils.
The visitors were awarded a penalty after Paul Pogba's bad tackle on Spanish defender Hector Bellerin in the area and Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ensured the ball hit the back of the net in the 69th minute.
Sunday's win was Arsenal's first win against Manchester United at the Old Trafford since 2006.
According to Goal:
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s 69th minute penalty led Arsenal to their first victory at United in the competition since September 2006 after Paul Pogba was adjudged to have fouled Hector Bellerin inside the area.
In the process, manager Arteta became just the second manager in Gunners’ history to win both of his first two games against Manchester United – with Herbert Chapman being the other in the 1925-26 campaign.
Nwankwo Kanu, a former Gunners forward and a two-time African Player Of The Year landed on social media to express his joy as Arsenal scaled through Manchester United in their English top flight encounter.
He wrote on Instagram: "Done and dusted come on you Arsenal".
With the result, Arsenal have earned twelve points and are ninth on the table while Manchester United are fifteenth with seven points.
