Either Manchester United have become exceptionally clumsy since lockdown, or referees really didn’t like getting on the wrong side of 75,000 locals.

Pogba has given away three times as many penalties as any other Manchester United player since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over.

The best team won. Pogba succeeded in delivering the right result, to the players that deserved it.

Arsenal had been superior, but had missed good chances and their moment looked to have passed. Then Willian picked up the ball on the right. He tried to entrap Luke Shaw but the Manchester United man was having none of it. Then he slipped the ball to Bellerin and Pogba did the rest.

It fell to Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang to break his longest scoring drought since 2014 with Borussia Dortmund. He stuck it low and right, David De Gea went the wrong way.

Manchester United, by contrast, were a shadow of the team that put five past RB Leipzig less than four days ago. DailyMail
