Arsenal scored twice in stoppage time to beat Manchester United 3-1 in a thrilling English Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium.
With the score 1-1 on Sunday, United thought they had snatched three points only for Alejandro Garnacho’s 87th-minute finish to be ruled out for offside by VAR.
Arsenal surged forward in eight added minutes and Declan Rice’s deflected shot put the Gunners ahead.
Rice’s first Arsenal goal was added to when substitute Gabriel Jesus raced clear to wrap up the win.
Marcus Rashford had earlier put United ahead against the run of play after 27 minutes before Martin Odegaard instantly levelled with an emphatic finish.
Manchester United coach Eric Ten Hag was fuming about several big calls.
Controversial comments from Erik ten Hag after Arsenal's famous victory ????
Could VAR have used the wrong angles to disallow Alejandro Garnacho's 88th minute strike? ????
“What a moment to score. So many people told me I’d score today. Arsenal is a massive club and you feel the pressure but I try to put in performances,” Rice said.
“I am eager to learn and improve and we want to push to the next level. Everyone’s been amazing. I like to have a laugh and speak to people and I’ve settled in well.”
Mohamed Salah cast aside speculation over his future by scoring in Liverpool’s comprehensive 3-0 victory over Aston Villa at Anfield.
Salah has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and Liverpool rejected a £150m (A$293m) bid from Al-Ittihad on Friday amid reports that the Pro League champions would return with a world-record offer before their transfer window closes on Thursday.
But the Egypt striker showed that none of that affected him as he added to his extraordinary Liverpool scoring record with the Reds’ third.
It was his 188th goal in 308 appearances and 139th in 222 Premier League matches. It was also his seventh in seven games against Villa.
Dominik Szoboszlai got Liverpool off to the perfect start after three minutes, delivering a sweet left-footed finish through a crowded box.
Liverpool doubled their lead in the 22nd minute when Darwin Nunez’s shot hit the post and went in off luckless Villa defender Matty Cash. Salah rounded off matters after 55 minutes.
So damn unlucky for Aston Villa ????
It's 2-0 for Liverpool after Darwin Nunez's shot rebounds off the post… and off Matty Cash… and into the back of the net! ????
