Posted: Sun Nov 09, 2008 6:52 am Post subject: Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd
Samir Nasri struck twice as Arsenal beat Manchester United and delivered an emphatic confirmation of manager Arsene Wenger's belief that they are still serious Premier League contenders.
Nasri's deflected shot opened the scoring in the 22nd minute and he doubled their advantage three minutes after the interval with a powerful finish from Cesc Fabregas's precise pass.
Substitute Rafael volleyed United back into contention with a minute of normal time left - but Arsenal survived six extra minutes and an outbreak of mass anxiety at the Emirates to clinch the three points.
It was a victory they merited, with United creating and wasting chances but never carrying the same sense of self-belief as Arsenal in a highly charged atmosphere.
Arsenal have suffered 10 days of soul-searching and criticism after allowing Spurs to secure an unlikely draw and losing in acrimonious circumstances at Stoke City but they responded with an almost open show of defiance on and off the pitch. _________________
