Man Utd's unbeaten streak came to an end when they faced Arsenal in round 14 of the Premier League. The "Red Devils" caused many difficulties for their opponents but still lost due to 2 corner kicks.
Arsenal are without Gabriel Magalhaes - the player who has scored the most goals from corners in the Premier League since last season. However, the Gunners' set pieces are still very threatening.

Man Utd were completely disoriented whenever the opponent brought the ball from the corner of the field to the goal. The home team took 13 corners in the match, most of which created chances. Jurrien Timber and William Saliba were the players who scored.
Except for set pieces, Man Utd's defense was not bad in this match. The visitors effectively blocked Arsenal's main attackers. The Gunners could not create the big and continuous pressure as usual.

However, Man Utd did not do well in attack. Most of the "Red Devils" attacks were easily detected and stopped by the opponent. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya had a leisurely match but was still focused enough to neutralize Man Utd's two best chances.
Despite winning 2-0, Arsenal still lost second place in the table. The reason is that Chelsea - the team with the same points as the Gunners - also won this round and had a higher score (5-1 against Southampton). Arsenal temporarily ranked behind the team in the same city due to inferior sub-index.
Both Chelsea and Arsenal closed the gap on leaders Liverpool, with Mohamed Salah and his teammates only managing a 3-3 draw at Newcastle United.
