As I mentioned somewhere in the first half Arsenal needed at least two goals in the first half to claim anything in this game. With first half claiming only near misses then the eventuality was too close to ignore..

90+2 min: The fourth official holds up his board, recommending eight minutes of added time. Eight!

90 min: The cameras cut to a couple of Arsenal fans, who look very disillusioned with life. I’ll be having a couple of pints with a Gooner later and am looking forward to it immensely. He’ll sound so disappointed and angry.

90+4 min: A let-off for Arsenal, who pile their entire team apart from the goalkeeper forward for a corner, only to see the ball played to Angel Di Maria halfway inside the Manchester United half. He sprints off towards the Arsenal goal with the ball at his feet a la Rooney, only to dink the ball over Martinez and .. wide.

90+7 min: There’s a mini-rumpus followed by lots of finger-pointing after a foul by Olivier Giroud on Angel Di Maria. I’m not too sure exactly what happened,which I’m prepared to concede isn’t what you want to read in an online commentary, but Ryan Wilson and the Frenchman both get booked.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Man Utd (Giroud 90+5)

Olivier Giroud grabs a lifeline, shooting past David De Gea with a surface-to-air screamer from about 15 yards at the near post. The Manchester United goalkeeper got a hand to the ball, but couldn’t prevent it from going in. He probably shouldn’t have been beaten at his near post like that, but it was a great effort.

Full-time: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester United

Peep! Peep! Peeeeeeeeeeeeeep! It’s all over at the Emirates. Despite conceding a late goal, Louis van Gaal’s side hang on to bag all three points and go ahead of Arsenal in the table and into the top four. Arsenal drop to eighth, having got off to their worst start in 32 years. They’re 11 points worse off than they were at the same time last season. Manchester United weathered an early storm and held on largely thanks to their goalkeeper. It is to their immense credit that they managed to score two goals at a time when they’d had only one shot on target. “We rode our luck at times,” says Wayne Rooney. “We hit them on the break where we knew they were vulnerable.”

That’s it from me for tonight. Thanks ever so much for your time, your tweets and your emails. It was an entertaining game, bnut Arsenal fans won’t be feeling too upbeat this evening.
