3 Important Observations from Arsenal vs Manchester United

Paul Pogba disaster class

It’s easy to say that Paul Pogba didn’t have his best game tonight. The midfielder looked extremely casual and lazy in his play and lost the ball far too easily.

He didn’t contribute much to the attacking play as well plus his efforts in the final third were below par. Moreover Pogba is guilty of conceding the penalty via a rash challenge.

Thomas Partey asserts his dominance

While on one hand Pogba flopped badly, Thomas Partey pulled out a brilliant display. The Ghanaian was splendid across the midfield and controlled the Arsenal team.

Mikel Arteta is definitely reaping the benefits of acquiring the man from Atletico Madrid. Partey was strong in the centre and was crisp in his passing.

Aubameyang ends goal drought

It’s difficult to stop a man who feasts on goals from stop scoring. Arsenal’s main man hadn’t secured a goal since scoring against Fulham on opening day.

However today when the chance presented itself, he stepped up and took the responsibility. A cool calm finish which left De Gea no chance.
