The marquee clash of the match week undoubtedly took place at Old Trafford as Man Utd hosted Arsenal.

Both teams are in very contrasting forms this season, with United seemingly unable to but a win even if their lives depended on it, while Arsenal have been impressive this season led by Aubameyang, and are on their best unbeaten run for 11 years, having not lost in 18 matches consecutively heading into the fixture.

This tie has a lot of history attached to it, most especially the days of league battles between SAF and Arsene Wenger, and TV stations were keen to point these out in snippets of the preview highlighting it as a must watch fixture.

However, both clubs have fallen a long way off from the highs of yesteryears, and are currently on a rebuilding phase.

More often than not, most hyped matches like this fail to match expectations, usually devoid of entertainment and serving us bore-fests instead.

Nevertheless, this was a departure from the norm, as the clash had everything from plenty of goals, goalkeeping errors, crunching tackles, injuries and a bit of the now normal Mourinho drama on the touchline.

At the end of 90 minutes, it was a 2-2 draw, which was a fair reflection of the match, and even though it was not a result either aide wanted (as it does their league standing not much good), in terms of pure entertainment, this has been one of the matches of the season so far.
