76 min: Herrera, just booked, is told to calm down by Pawson after fouling Sanchez. Van Gaal then ... and this is bizarre ... falls on his backside on the touchline while remonstrating with fourth official Mike Dean! I think he was mimicking a dive! It’s all taken a bit of a strange turn here.
 
78 min: Tottenham now lead against Swansea – Danny Rose scores. Arsenal need to win really, don’t they?

77 min: Wonderful take by Depay, killing a diagonal ball with his heel before it could come over his head. He’s been very bright today.
 
80 min: Just a few signs that the earlier pattern – Arsenal probing, United dropping in a little too deep – is going to repeat itself now. Giroud heads over, beating Varela to a Sanchez cross, and United won’t want much more of that. Now Rashford comes off, to absolutely tumultuous applause. So well deserved! Adnan Januzaj replaces him.
 
F82 min: Varela concedes a corner after Sanchez, growing in influence now, finds Welbeck. Depay heads away powerfully at the near post.
 
85 min: Arsenal are probing – there’s genuine urgency at last – but so far finding few spaces. But there’s time...

83 min: Welbeck now goes off, to a few boos. On comes Alex Iwobi, nephew of Jay Jay Okocha
 
88 min: Then Sanchez beats Varela to a header and almost slips Ramsey in, but his touch lets him down and De Gea gets out quickly. Nervy times. Elneny, who has played daftly since coming on, then fouls Lingard deep inside the Arsenal half to afford United some respite. The ball goes into the corner – and a corner is then won.

86 min: Close-ish there though, as another fine Ozil free-kick finds Koscielny at the back stick. His header loops up, and De Gea catches.

89 min: Probably a bit of a stretch for United to imagine they can hold the ball down there until 90+4, or so. It’s given away eventually, but then great work from Fosu-Mensah and Januzaj gets the ball down the other flank to cheers.
 
90+1 min: We will have five added minutes. Arsenal don’t deserve a draw here. But this will be a long, long period of stoppage time for United.
 
90+4 min: Arsenal pumping the long balls forward now. All, so far, met by thumping clearances...

90+3 min: It’s back in the corner again with Januzaj, who then makes for the box and almost picks out Lingard. No charge of the light brigade from Arsenal yet, although Ozil picks up a booking for bashing Varela into the advertising hoardings.
 
Full-time! Manchester United 3-2 Arsenal

They can! What a victory that is for Manchester United!

90+5 min: A late change for United, James Weir replacing Herrera. Can they see it out?

Manchester United 3-2 Arsenal: Premier League – as it happened
Marcus Rashford does it again, scoring twice for Manchester United and setting one up for Ander Herrera against a disappointing Arsenal side for whom Danny Welbeck and Mesut Ozil’s goals were not enough
