Arsenal gift Manchester United a victory

Manchester United ended Arsenal's unbeaten start to the season as the Gunners self-destructed in their 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Arsene Wenger's side were well on top after taking the lead through Andrey Arshavin's superb strike late in the first half.






It got worse for Arsenal as French midfielder Abou Diaby headed a Ryan Giggs free-kick into his own net five minutes later to give United their third win in four games.

The acid test of Wenger's young team started perfectly when Arshavin hit a swerving long-range shot that United goalkeeper Ben Foster could only push into the net.
