The initial half of the highly anticipated clash between Arsenal and Manchester United has been nothing short of chaotic. In the 27th minute, Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United striker, found the back of the net, opening the scoring. Arsenal's standout player, Martin Odegaard, didn't let United hold onto their lead for long, equalizing just a minute later.

The game kicked off at the Emirates Stadium in a rather sluggish manner, with both teams struggling to create scoring opportunities. Manchester United found themselves largely confined to their own half during this period, while Arsenal, despite their best efforts, failed to generate significant goal-scoring chances.

However, the momentum of the match dramatically shifted when Christian Eriksen delivered a precise cross from long range to Marcus Rashford, who managed to elude the Arsenal defenders and score the opening goal in the 27th minute.

Yet, Arsenal swiftly responded to Manchester United's lead. Just a minute after Rashford's goal, Martin Odegaard seized an opportunity inside the box, capitalizing on a brilliant pass from Gabriel Martinelli to level the score, reinvigorating the match.

If the game concludes with this scoreline, both teams will earn a share of the points in the Premier League. Nevertheless, there is still another thrilling 45 minutes remaining, promising the continuation of this captivating encounter at the Emirates Stadium.
