Jurrien Timber and William Saliba scored from corners to give Arsenal a 2-0 victory over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, cutting the gap with Premier League leader Liverpool and ending Ruben Amorim's unbeaten start. The Gunners threatened from set pieces, but little else, in a strangely subdued first half, with Thomas Partey unable to direct a dangerous Declan Rice corner into the net that the injured defender Gabriel may well have converted. United goalkeeper Andre Onana twice needed to punch clear from corners, with the second presenting a half-chance for Gabriel Martinelli, who sliced his shot high and wide. The visitor was content to slow the game down and retain possession, and went close before the break when Diogo Dalot dragged an effort wide from a tight angle. Arsenal was sharper after the restart and took the lead from another Rice corner in the 54th minute, with Timber heading in at the near post. ▲ Arsenal's Jurrien Timber
