Kieran Gibbs own goal throws Arsenal in the dark




Kieran Gibbs own goal procured for Manchester United a 2-1 victory over Arsenal. In an unexpected moment, Wayne Rooney topped the score with another netting, just as struggling Arsenal strove to clean up Gibbs' mess. Arsenal Olivier Giroud salvaged his side with a goal but United had braced a first away win under Louis Van Gaal's guide. Speaking on Sky sports, Rooney said, "It's a very important victory. We weathered the storm at times, especially first half. Then we knew we could hit them on the counter-attack, we knew they were vulnerable on the break. We rode our luck at times, and our goalkeeper [David De Gea] was fantastic. They had possession and we hit them on the break, which was our gameplan."  United moved to a top four with the Arsenal win.

He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
