“It doesn't get much better than that.”  That was the opinion of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after his side came from behind to win this classic with a late, late Eddie Nketiah goal that extended their lead at the top of the Premier League at the halfway stage of the season.

This old rivalry rekindled was as good as it gets as Erik ten Hag's United led early on though Marcus Rashford to threaten Arteta's lead over second-placed Manchester City. The greatest club rivalry in Premier League history sparked back into life in a match for the ages.
