Rice, Jesus score in stoppage time as Arsenal defeats Man Utd in thriller

Arsenal's Declan Rice scored late to seal a thrilling 3-1 win vs. Man Utd. Rice's deflected shot in 96th min. sent home fans into delirium. Gabriel Jesus then produced sublime finish after counter-attack. United had late goal disallowed after Arsenal saw penalty overturned. Arsenal have 10 pts, 2 behind Man City, while Utd are 11th on 6 pts.

Arsenal's record signing Declan Rice opened his Arsenal account with a goal deep in stoppage time before Gabriel Jesus wrapped up a thrilling 3-1 victory against Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.

It looked as though both sides would have to settle for a point when United had a late goal disallowed after Arsenal had earlier seen a penalty overturned, but Rice sent the home fans into delirium with a deflected shot in the 96th minute.

Brazilian striker Jesus then produced a sublime finish after a counter-attack with United having committed everyone forward.

The home fans serenaded Rice after the game as the England midfielder provided his most telling contribution since signing from West Ham United for a reported 105 million pounds ($132 million).

"I think I controlled it with my chin and just had a shot, if you don't shoot you don't score," Rice told Sky Sports.

"It's the fine margins of football. We go up the other end and I score then Gabi (Jesus) seals it. It's just the margins that makes the results."

United were left crestfallen especially as they had what they thought was a late winner scored by substitute Alejandro Garnacho ruled out for offside after a VAR video check.
