From a corner on the right, Rice received the ball in the second column without being marked by anyone, when the away team’s players could not close in time.
Rice celebrates the goal to increase the score to 2-1 for Arsenal against Man Utd at Emirates Stadium, London in round four of the Premier League on September 3, 2023.
Before scoring two goals, Arsenal seemed to have nothing when Alejandro Garnacho scored in the 89th minute to help Man Utd take a 2-1 lead.
The developments in the last 10 minutes were much more exciting than the previous 80 minutes, when the two teams played cautiously.
The German midfielder has not performed well since joining Arsenal, and it was also his error that led to the away team’s opening goal.
However, Arsenal responded after just one minute with a masterpiece that reflected the team’s identity between Zinchenko, Martinelli and Nketiah.
Odegaard (right) equalized 1-1 for Arsenal.
The two teams continued to play closely in the second half, but when given the opportunity, they could not take advantage of it.
VAR also took away Arsenal’s joy in the match once, when referee Anthony Taylor awarded them a penalty after Havertz collided with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and fell down in the penalty area.
Match statistics show that Arsenal did better in important indicators, especially 12 corner kicks, four times more than their opponents.
And Man Utd continues to show lackluster play, with only a rare bright spot in rookie Rasmus Hojlund.
