setback in Premier League title race

– Ozil gets assists No 18, he’s two shy off Thiery Henry’s record
– Louis Van Gaal makes a scene in Old Trafford
Manchester United 18-year-old striker Marcus Rashford was the hero of the day as his two goals and an assist was enough to hand Louis Van Gaal’s team a 3-2 win over rivals Arsenal.
Making his premier league debut, Rashford scored two goals in two minutes and forty five seconds before going ahead to create a third for Herrera. Arsenal’s Man of the match Ozil scored to reduced the deficit and assisted Welbeck for an opening goal. But those strikes were not enough to hand Arsenal a point.
There was a mild drama in 77th minute as Louis van Gaal cameout of his seat to remonstrate with the fourth official and deliberately falls over to make a point.
Read our live coverage of the game below:
Louis Van Gaal will be hoping to secure back-to-back wins for the first time in a long while when Manchester United welcome rival Arsenal to Old Trafford.
Van Gaal who has been facing the heat, led Manchester United to next stage of the Europa league after a 5-1 whitewash over FC Midtjylland of Denmark.
However, he will be missing the services of Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney who are both nursing major injuries that keeps them out of this game.
Arsenal on the other side will be hoping to secure maximum points to continue the chase on Leicester city at the top of the league.
