Recently matches between the top four teams in the Premier League haven't been known as classic, spectacular matches but yesterday's match between Arsenal and Manchester United was a fantastic match, unfortunately United lost.

Both teams were wanting the win and went all out for the win which did show in some parts of the match especially when ManUnited left four players upfront when Arsenal had the ball, which is a dangerous thing to do.



Within the first twenty minutes there were atleast five great chances for both teams to score, the first fell to ManUnited when Almunia picked up Silvestre's backpass which gave United a freekick in the penalty area. The resulting freekick went just wide after the ball was partly cleared but only to Carrick who had a shot which only needed the slightest touch by Park and it probably been 1-0 to Man United.

Nicklas Bendtner had two chances to head the ball into the back of the net to give Arsenal the lead but it was still 0-0. Rooney hit the ball over the bar when it looked a lot easier to score than miss.

22 minutes into the match and one team finally took the lead and it was Arsenal. Nasri's shot took a deflection off Man United captain Gary Neville which took the ball past goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar.

The match went into the break at 1-0 to Arsenal but there was goal just after the restart and it was another Nasri goal to put Arsenal 2-0 up. Cesc Fabregas threaded the ball through to Nasri who slotted the ball past Van Der Sar, this was another disappointing goal, it didn't take a deflection but both Ferdinand and Vidic followed Walcott and ignored Nasri and he scored.

Ronaldo could have got United a goal just after the restart from the goal but he dragged his shot wide which is what he has been doing quite a bit lately, last season he would have scored them.

Neville was brought off and Rafael Da Silva was brought on and it was Rafael who pulled Manchester United a goal back. 90 minutes in and Rafael scored a spectacular left-foot volley from the edge of the box

Six minutes of stoppage time was added on but we didn't manage to score another goal to score but it was a great advert for the Premier League and the only difference between both teams was that Arsenal finished off the chances that they had and we didn't.

Next up for Manchester United is QPR at Old Trafford in the Carling Cup on Tuesday, hopefully our youngsters will perform just as well.
