Premier League: EPL fixtures, results and latest table, 5 December

Manchester United 2-2 Arsenal

Manchester United and Arsenal produced a match that made up for what it lacked in footballing quality with drama.

Both sides struggled to craft chances in the first half until Shkodran Mustafi nodded the ball at David De Gea after a corner and the stopper bizarrely parried the ball just a few inches up before it looped back into his goal.

That lead lasted just four  minutes though when Anthony Martial collected a pass from Ander Herrera after a Rojo shot and slotted into the Arsenal net.

A defensive error allowed Lacazette to put Arsenal back in front in the second half but the joy was incredibly short lived.

Jesse Lingard caught Arsenal napping after the goal and prodded past Leno to equalize.

Both sides pushed for a winner but it was not forthcoming and Unai Emery and Joe Mourinho will have to content themselves with a point.
