In the 61st minute, Oleksandr Zinchenko scored the first goal for Arsenal, leveling the score. The Gunners' search for a winner paid off late in the game when Jorginho's powerful shot hit Emiliano Martinez before Gabriel Martinelli sealed a brilliant victory. Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard became the team of the week thanks to their impressive performances in the game.

The Reds were mediocre for most of the first half, but Bruno Fernandes' fine pass from outside the box and Marcus Rashford's clinical finish put them ahead. David De Gea had to make two special saves to keep the game going for the Reds.
In the second half, Marcus Rashford scored the second goal of the game after Fred's pass sent him over the left flank. Jadon Sancho finished the overwhelming display with a beautiful goal for his team-mate after a pass with Bruno Fernandes on the right before finishing with his left foot.
