SUPERB CHALLENGE AS TELLES THINKS HE'S ALL SET TO LEVEL MATTERS
United attack down the left and feed it infield to Fred. Hep lays a lovely ball into Telles who turns towards goal inside the area, but is denied by a magnificent last-gasp challenge from Ben White. There are some weak appeals for a spot-kick but it was a clean tackle.

UNITED PROBE BUT RAMSDALE IS PRETTY MUCH A SPECTATOR
It's been a positive response to going behind from the home side but for all of their neat approach play they've struggled to carve out any clear-cut openings. Indeed, Ramsdale has not really been called into much action. That needs to change if they are to appease a frustrated home faithful.

UNITED RESPOND BUT RAMSDALE DENIES RONALDO

THE GOAL STANDS - ARSENAL LEAD!
United players surround the referee. They are furious but by the letter of the law, Arsenal didn't impede the goalkeeper there. A tough one for the official. Was that in the spirit of the game?

DE GEA BEING TREATED - WILL THE GOAL STAND?
Martin Atkinson is talking to De Gea who is now on his feet. Replays are showing De Gea was caught by his own teammate. Surely it's a goal... isn't it?

GOAL! - MAN UNITED 0-1 ARSENAL
Smith-Rowe volleys home from 25 yards out after United failed to completely clear a corner. There's real drama though as De Gea was lying injured inside his six-yard box.

HALF CHANCE FOR RONALDO!
The Man Utd No.7 turns into space 25 yards from goal but rushes a low shot and it lacks power and accuracy.

AUBA FAILS TO IGNITE AFTER SLICK ARSENAL ATTACK
Partey and Smith-Rowe combine brilliantly to feed Aubameyang just inside the area but the forward can't connect properly with his strike and it dribbles through to De Gea.

DALOT LETS FLY BUT IT'S ROUTINE FOR RAMSDALE
A rare United attack ends with Dalot cutting in from the right and drilling in a low left-foot shot that is simple enough for Ramsdale to get down and gather.

UNITED TRYING TO SETTLE AFTER FAST GUNNERS START
Carrick's men have had trouble playing out from the back as Arsenal's hungry press continues to make life uneasy for Maguire and Co. Most of the game has been played in he home team's half so far.

UNITED SURVIVE EARLY PRESSURE
