Declan Rice of Arsenal battles for possession with Anthony Martial

Manchester United took a surprise lead at the Emirates... but it didn't last long.

Arsenal had completely dominated the opening 27 minutes in North London, but after failing to break the deadlock, were left stunned by a wonderful solo goal from Marcus Rashford - their first attempt on goal.

However, just 35 seconds after the restart, the Gunners were level, a free-flowing move down the left leading to Gabriel Martinelli cutting back and captain Martin Odegaard slotting into the back of the net.

Earlier, Liverpool had their way with Aston Villa, running out comfortable 3-0 winners at Anfield, with Mohamed Salah among the scorers and Crystal Palace beat Wolves 3-2 at Selhurst Park.

Garnacho is put clear and finishes with absolute class... hold fire though

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

Hojlund legs it forward and gets on the ball but is bought down in a physical tussle, Taylor thinks they were just battling for the ball.

Ten Hag doesn't though and is fuming.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

Lindelof and Antony off - Garnacho and Evans on for his Man Utd return.

So that's Man Utd's fourth and fifth choice centre-halves pairing up.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

AS I SAY THAT!

A huge Arsenal chance as a ball goes across the face of goal only for Saka to side foot the ball straight at Onana from no more than seven or eight yards.

Massive chance.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

The visitors break and have three men bursting forward, but Rashford can't find a pass for either of his colleagues.

Arsenal enjoying more possession, and in the right areas, but Onana hasn't been called upon to show his shotstopping skills for some time.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

Triple change for the hosts - Jesus, Vieira and Tomiyasu on replacing Nketiah, Havertz and Zinchenko.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

Man Utd look a bit more threatening going forward, the game is there to be won.

Casemiro is seen revving up Hojlund before a corner, grabbing him by the collar.

It is certainly a more end-to-end encounter and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a winner.

Here is the new man

From a corner the ball is worked back to Martinelli, whose efforts is centimetres from going in.

Onana is then booked for time wasting as Man Utd do away with their playing out from the back philosophy the minute Maguire comes on. Read into that what you will.

Maguire is on!

Here's a face we don't see often, the England defender is on to replace Martinez.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

Mr Hojlund, welcome to the show.

The Dane comes on to replace Martial.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

Odegaard found himself on the edge of the box but as he attempted to find half a yard kept running and running before firing off a weak shot, leaving some of his team-mates frustrated.

Man Utd enjoy some possession but when they lose it Arsenal are allowed to break, albeit their efforts don't come to anything.

Game beginning to open up here.

NO PENALTY

Taylor has gone to the screen and changed his decision.

Tough one, yes the contact is minimal, but there is a touch. I'd be on the fence with that one.

VAR are checking

Wait for it...

PENALTY ARSENAL

Havertz gets the ball and drives at the Man Utd defence before Wan-Bissaka's lazy leg sees the German hit the deck.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

Big double chance for Man Utd as Martial is played through, only to see his effort blocked by Ramsdale from a slightly acute angle.

Rashford is then quickest to the rebound, but Saliba gets a vital block.

One Mr Hojlund is warming-up.... surely it can't be too long.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

Arsenal looking to camp themselves in the Man Utd half. A smart move from a throw-in ends with Nketiah having a shot inside the box, only for it to be blocked.

Lots of intent from the hosts but there's only been sprinkles of quality.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

Game has adopted a similar pattern to the first-half with both teams happy to keep the ball without firing too many shots.

Some of Mna Utd's players are doing themselves few favours today. Antony and Martial haven't been brilliant going forward, albeit they've worked hard.

Back underway at the Emirates

No changes to report of, let's goooo!

HALF-TIME - Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

That mad two minutes or so saw Rashford open the scoring and Odegaard cancel it out.

Plenty of food for thought for both Arteta and Ten Hag, which could make for a really interesting and entertaining second 45 minutes.

Go grab a drink, we'll be back in 15.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

We'll have another three minutes here at the Emirates, but we look set to go into half-time with the scores level.

A delicious ball from Zinchenko to the back post forces Man Utd to be on their heels. They still look very threatening, especially down their left.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

We've seen Saka booked for a foul on Fernandes, much to the anger of the home crowd, but more than justified.

Man Utd will need to rethink their gameplan at half-time, they seem content to invite Arsenal onto them by playing it between Onana and his defenders.

A risky game, but it does allow them to be a threat on the counter. Arsenal though certainly the better side.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

Lindelof picks up a yellow when he thinks the ball's going out, only for Nketiah to get there before him, meaning he has to swipe down the Arsenal man.

It was so cynical, but because it happened so far from goal, never any threat of a red.

The game had slowed down for a few minutes before that, but it has whipped up the Emirates crowd.

Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd

If Man Utd are going to do anything in this game it will surely involve Rashford, there's a buzz of excitement whenever he gets on the ball.

An Eriksen shot was well blocked by Havertz, but that's all the visitors have offered since the two goals.

Arsenal still look comfortable, but will be frustrated they're not ahead and also wary of the threat on the counter.

Two strikes - minutes apart

Rashford opened the scoring...
