I’m not sure which team that suits. Arsenal are about to bring on Noni Madueke, a forward who plays at his own pace.Rice shoots over from distance.Share57 min Fernandes, on the left wing, hammers a dangerous free-kick under the crossbar. David Raya, under as much pressure as Bayindir was for the goal, punches decisively clear. Excellent goalkeeping.Share55 min Mbeumo threatens to run through on goal after a straight pass down the middle from Fernandes. Gabriel steps across to get between Mbeumo and the ball, with Arsenal eventually clearing a little awkwardly.Share55 min: Man Utd substitution An attacking change at right wing-back: Amad Diallo replaces Diogo Dalot.Share51 min Lots of United possession at the start of the second half. But then Casemiro gives the ball away and Odegaard releases Gyokeres in space on the left. He moves towards the area, then leaves the ball behind and fouls Casemiro in an attempt to win it back.Share50 min Arsenal appeal unsuccessfully for a foul throw against Dorgu. WHAT THE HELL IS VAR FOR IF NOT THAT?Share49 min Shaw combines with Dorgu, keeps running and cuts a cross back towards Mount. His left-foot snapshot is blocked by the well-positioned Saliba.Share46 min Peep peep! The second half is under way.Share“I went to Law 12, subsection 2 (what do you expect, I’m a lawyer) and it deals with indirect free kicks,” says Adam Roberts. “ The closest I could find was (a player who) ‘impedes the progress of an opponent without any contact being made’ should have an indirect free kick awarded against him. Have I missed something or has American Football offensive blocking been legalised in real football?”I’m not sure about that. I mean, I’m sure Saliba knew what he was doing but there’s a legitimate argument that it falls under jockeying rather than obstruction. Far more importantly, so did all the match officials.ShareHalf time: Man Utd 0-1 ArsenalArsenal lead through the shortest of short-range headers Riccardo Calafiori. It came from their first corner of the season, whacked under the crossbar by Declan Rice and mishandled by Altay Bayindir.Overall United were slightly the better team: Patrick Dorgu hit a post and the vivacious Matheus Cunha drew a quietly brilliant save from David Raya.Share45 min De Ligt goes flying after bouncing off Gyokeres, who turns back infield from the right but then overhits his pass to Saka. Gyokeres has done well enough with no real service; much of his involvement has been channel runs and physical battles with Matthijs de Ligt.ShareUpdated at 17.17 BST43 min Mount has a shot on the turn blocked after combining with Cunha. Ruben Amorim will be pleased with United’s first-half performance, if not the scoreline. The front three of Cunha, Mount and Mbeumo have all been good.Share42 min The lively Mbeumo rolls Calafiori, who pulls him back with no attempt at disguise and is booked.Share41 min Saka’s corner is half cleared to Odegaard, whose mishit volley from 15 yards is blocked. Half a chance, that, for a player of his class. Well, probably more like 0.1 xG than 0.5, but you know what I mean.ShareFine save by Raya!38 min Mount plays a short pass to Cunha on the left side of a crowded area. He veers suddenly between Rice and Saliba and forces a low shot from a tight angle that is brilliantly saved by Raya. He plunged to his left with almost no reaction time and got a slight but crucial touch to brush the ball past the far post.Share36 min “Who does Martinelli think he is with that abysmal bicycle attempt, a Brazilian like Richarlison?” sniffs Joe Pearson. “What? Oh.”Share35 min Odegaard, who has been terrific since Arsenal’s goal, slips Fernandes and Casemiro before hammering a shot from 20 yards. It’s too straight and saved by Bayindir. Actually Bayindir did well because the ball bounced just in front so could easily have slithered out of his grasp.Share34 min Cunha works Raya again with a curving shot from distance. Comfortable save. He and Mbeumo have been lively.Share33 min: Raya saves from Cunha Arsenal counter until Martinelli fresh-airs an acrobatic volley. United counter the counter via Cunha, who bulldozes straight through two or three defenders just inside the Arsenal half. By the time he reaches the edge of the area he’s shattered; the best he can do is a shot under pressure from Saliba that Raya saves comfortably.ShareUpdated at 17.05 BSTDorgu hits the post!30 min Fernandes pushes a ball out to Dorgu in space on the left. He runs to within 20 yards of goal, with Saliba waiting to engage, and blasts a fine shot across goal. It beats the diving Raya and hits the outside of the post.Patrick Dorgu thumps a shot that hits the post. Photograph: Peter Powell/ReutersShareUpdated at 17.21 BST29 min Mount finds Dorgu in space with an excellent blind pass. Nothing comes of it but that’s three or four times Mount has opened the game up with his vision and passing.Share28 min Dalot’s cross is shanked Hackney Marshily across his own area by Saliba, though it matters not because Dalot was offside and the ball was cleared anyway.Share27 min “Hmm,” says Andy Donald. “’Bayindir was blocked but not fouled by Saliba’ is a bit of an interesting statement. Can you block a goalkeeper whilst not fouling him?”You betcha. Law 12, subsection 2, and yes of course I had to check which law it was.Share26 min A nothing shot from Martinelli is easily saved by Bayindir.Share25 min Casemiro wins the ball cleanly off Odegaard and sweeps an early long pass to Mbeumo. He cuts inside, uses Cunha by not using him, then gives Raya the eyes and drives a shot towards the near post from about 20 yards. It hits Gabriel and goes behind for a corner.Share22 min Raya faffs around on the ball and is challenged by Cunha, who then goes over after an awkward lunge from Raya. Cunha wants a penalty; he won’t get one but that was very risky from Raya.Share21 min Arsenal have been the better team since the goal. Martinelli stabs a pass that puts Calafiori through on goal… only for the flag to go up.Share20 min Here, have some match reports from the 2pm games.Share19 min Rice overhits this free-kick and Bayindir claims comfortably.Share
