The win also takes Arsenal within two points of fifth-placed United, who stay four points behind City having played the same number of games as their local rivals. For all of United manager Jose Mourinho's pre-match bluster about fielding a weakened team, his only concession to youth in eight changes from his midweek Europa League team was 19-year-old defender Axel Tuanzebe, who made his Premier League debut. United also had their chances before the break, with Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech saving from Anthony Martial. The win could not have been better timed and was Wenger's first over Jose Mourinho in a league game. "Yes is all on the Europa league," said Mourinho, "but you cannot say we did not try to win."
