Manchester United could not have asked for a better start to their crunch clash at Arsenal, as they found the back of the night twice in the first 11 minutes. Defender Antonio Valencia scored in the 4′ for the visitors, and attacking player Jesse Lingard added on in the 11′. Lingard of course did a celebration dance, but it was one that was….uhm, not his best.
We now head to halftime with the score United 2, Arsenal 0. Here is the video of both goals scored.

United are winning 2-0, but Arsenal are dominating the game in possession and chances. The Gunners are up 71%-29% in possession and 14 shots to United’s five. The home side has put seven of those shots on goal while United have just those two.
It’s certainly been a #DaveSaves kind of night, as the United #1 was absolutely brilliant in the first half.
