Arsenal 2-0 Man United: Gunners end Amorim’s 34-game unbeaten run, set new win record vs Red Devils

Arsenal have ended Ruben Amorim’s 34 game unbeaten run after defeating Man United 2-0 at the Emirates stadium on Wednesday night.

The Gunners scored two second half goals via set-pieces to inflict on Amorim his first league defeat since he lost 3-2 to Vitória Guimaraes on December 9, 2023, at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon.

The Portuguese also lost his first game as manager of Manchester United following the sacking of Eric Ten Hag and the departure of caretaker boss, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Gunners’ win is also historic as they have now won four consecutive league matches against Man United for the first time in their history. They’ve also won each of their last four home league games against the Red Devils: their longest such run since April 1978 (seven in a row).

Arsenal have scored more goals from corners (22) than any other team in the Premier League since the start of last season and ten of those have opened the scoring in a match, which is also a league-high figure in this period.

Manchester United have now conceded two goals from corners in a Premier League match for the first time since January 2014 (two against Chelsea, both scored by Samuel Eto’o).
