ARSENAL BEATS MANCHESTER UNITED 2-1

Awesome game from the Gunners. Though not a Gunners fan, I can say that they really are back. The fire is there. They played well both offensively and defensively last night. Nasri had a brace and was key to the Gunners attack. Walcott played courageously and not surprisingly, he played well and managed to play even though he is not a hundred percent.

United's defense was again somewhat poor last night. The first Nasri goal might be deflected but the Gunners really had tons of chances. Bendtner wasted some good chances for the Gunners. I wonder why but I honestly think that Carlos Vela must be used more than Bendtner.

United just really could not attack well. That offside goal on the Berbatov "goal" might have caused some confidence problems. Rooney was just not himself. Ronaldo was missing shots. Tevez did not provide the spark. That Da Silva goal at the 90th minute was good in my opinion. United had their chances but the Gunners defense was just superb.

The Gunners attacking was just really exceptional. Their defense really was tough and made it hard for United to attack. Really a superb game but I question the officiating again. Poor calls were made and both teams were not given some free kicks which should have been awarded to them. Overall, the Gunners deserved the win.
