Marcus Rashford brilliantly put Manchester United ahead at the Emirates Stadium in the first half, only for Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard to equalise 110 seconds later. After a penalty for a foul on Kai Havertz was reversed after a pitchside review, the game appeared to be heading to a draw before VAR ruled out replacement Alejandro Garnacho’s late winner for straying offside.
United’s joyous celebrations were cut short, but there was still time for more drama in a thrilling conclusion. In the sixth minute of stoppage time, a deep corner found Rice, who slammed home his first Arsenal goal off the heel of Jonny Evans, before substitute Jesus added gloss for Mikel Arteta’s men.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag raged that “it was not offside” when Alejandro Garnacho’s vital goal was called out in the club’s defeat to Arsenal. The game appeared to be heading to a draw when substitute Garnacho broke through the Arsenal defenders in the 88th minute and scored past Aaron Ramsdale. However, after a check as the young Argentine went millimetres beyond the last man, VAR ruled the probable match-winner out for offside.
