Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal
This will later today also be in Norwegian under the page "on Norwegian"
Arsene Wenger has really get something to work with after a humilating 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford. Arsenal has started the Premier League season terrible, and after a goalless draw at Nwecastle and a 2-0 defeat at the Emirates against Liverpool Arsenal wanted to show that they are bether than what they had showen the two firsth matches. But they did not prove anything, neither that they desperately need reinforcments the coming days.
The match was even until Uniteds firsth goal after 22 minutes. Djorou seemed to had controll on the ball played from Nani, but when he tried to shield the boal so Szczesny could take it and Szczesny was just watching Welbeck was tough and headed the ball over Szczesny and into 1-0. This goal could easly be avoided if the communication in defence had been bether.
And when Van Perise missed a penalty on 1-0 the team colapsed. Van Persie's penalty was poor and there is no doubt that the miss affected the team. Only minutes later Manchester United increased the lead to both two and three zero.
Theo Walcott scored in the 45 minute and lighted the possibility to catch Uniteds lead. The goal came after a typical Arsenal attack. In the firsth 15 minutes of second half Arsenal had many oppurtunities to score, but when they did not take the opportunities Rooney did. In the 64 minute he added a new goal and making the score 4-1. Only six minutes after Rooney scored Manchester United had scored two more and had determined the match.
Van Persie scored Arsenal second goal after 75 minutes, but it did not help much because at the end of the match Manchester had scored two new goals and making the final score 8-2.
Arsene Wenger said after the match that it was incredible embarrassing. He also told that he has no plans to leave the club and that there might be some new signings the last days if the tranfer window.
The only plus today was that the Arsenal supporters did make impressive much sound at Old Trafford. From the 45 minute to the 60 minute you could hear the Arsenal supporters continuous and only the Manchester United supprters twice in ten seconds. Just impressive! The best supporters in England, with no doubt!
