Mikel Arteta has become only the second manager in Arsenal's history to win his first two games against Manchester United after the Gunners beat their fierce rivals 1-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday evening.
The London club secured three points thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who converted a penalty, awarded by referee Mike Dean after Paul Pogba fouled Bellerin in the area on 68 minutes.
Bukayo Saka, playing as a left wing-back in a 3-4-3 formation, went the distance for the visitors but Odion Ighalo was not in the 18 for the fourth time in the new Premier League season.
The Shanghai Shenhua loanee has been limited to only starts in the Carabao Cup and his long-term future at United has been thrown into doubt after the club made a move for Edinson Cavani on deadline day.
Some Manchester United Nigerian fans have questioned the decision of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær to drop Ighalo from the squad for Premier League games and others feel the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations top scorer is a better option than the Uruguay marksman.
Here's what they are saying on Twitter :
