Declan Rice scores as Arsenal hit back to beat Manchester United

LONDON: Declan Rice scored his first goal for Arsenal and Gabriel Jesus added the icing on the cake as Arsenal roared back from a goal down to beat Manchester United 3-1 at the Emirates on Sunday. Marcus Rashford gave the visitors the lead against the run of play in the first half but Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard equalized seconds later.

Earlier, Arsenal shot out of the blocks, pinning United back in the warm September sunshine. The home side should have taken the lead in the 13th minute but new signing Kai Havertz miskicked horrendously from inside the area with the goal at his mercy. Arsenal continued to dominate, pressing high and forcing United into awkward situations at the back. The game exploded into life shortly before the half-hour mark when United took the lead against the run of play after a speedy counter-attack. Christian Eriksen picked up a loose ball in midfield and burst forward, producing a perfectly weighted pass for Rashford, running down the left-hand channel. The England forward, largely anonymous in the early stages, cut inside and past two defenders before
