Young Gunners sink Man Utd.

Arsenal came back to form with a boosting victory against Manchester United. The young team, who were playing at home, without red carded Van Persie and injured Adebayor, played a 4-5-1 strategy instead. 

Arsene Wenger gave Bendtner a start as the lone striker, leaving Vela on the bench. Fabregas was given the space that he wanted in the centre, with Nasri and Walcott flanking him. Diaby and Denilson played the defensive role. 

ManU played their normal strong formation, with Neville in after nearly a year, and Berbatov and Rooney as the strikers. Sir Alex left out Nani, which was a big surprise. Ronaldo was of course there along with Anderson.

ManU started well, creating a few chances, and we could see the bad form haunting Arsenal. After a few minutes though, A

rsenal shook the Red Devils defence with a Bendnter header, whcih failed to hit the target. Then Arsenal started passing and passing, racking up 200 passes in 15 minutes. 

Rooney missed a beautiful chance as Berbatov set up Ronaldo on the right, and he feinted to pass to a free Roonney, and Wayne smashed the ball over the bar. Almunia then made a string of amazing saves to keep Arsenal afloat. 

Meanwhile on the other end, Van Der Sar was receiving a similar barrage of attacks. Halfway though the first half, Sagna ws fouled on the right wing and Fabreags took the freekick. He kicked it into the middle only for Berbatov to head it away to Nasri, and the French prodigy kicked with his weaker foot and the ball took a deflection off Neville to enter the goal past an infuriated Van Der Sar. 

Having the lead, Arsenal ended the first half on a high. Straight after the break, Fabregas stole the ball from Ronaldo and took the defence with him, and passed to a free Nasri in the middle, who smashed the ball into the left corner to give the Gunners a comfortable lead.

Immediately ManU led a counter attack and Ronaldo's kick shaved the left bar. ManU seemed to have no hope when just then talented teen Rafael Da Silva was brought in. The defender- cum- winger stole ManU hearts with his persistent crosses. Carrick then injured Almunia by kicking him on the jaw, and Fabianski was brought in.

In the 90' , Rafael's beautiful volley beyond Fabianski got the ManU crowd to their feet, but by then it was too late. Arsenal had already tooted the horn of victory.  IS THIS THE START OF A NEW ERA????
