EPL: Why Arsenal Beat Man Utd – Gary Neville

Gary Neville, a former Manchester United defender, praised Arsenal’s perseverance following their 1-0 victory over the Red Devils on Sunday.

Riccardo Calafiori’s goal in the 13th minute secured the victory.

Although United attempted to battle back, Arsenal’s defenders held firm to maintain their first clean sheet of the season.

David Raya made several excellent saves to shut out the hosts and was named Man of the Match.

Neville, speaking on Sky Sports, said: “Arsenal really dug in. They showed a lot of resilience.

“We know how good they are defensively. The goalkeeper made some really good saves and the back four got better as the game went on.

“Arsenal were never at their best but to come to Manchester, whether it is Old Trafford or Manchester City’s ground, it’s always tough.”
