Marcus Rashford scored twice on
his Premier League debut to help Manchester United to a 3-2 win over Arsenal at
Old Trafford.
The
18-year-old striker, who had hit a double just three days ago against
Midtjylland in the Europa League, struck twice more inside four first-half
minutes before Danny Welbeck pulled a goal back before the break against his
old club.
Ander
Herrera's deflected strike - set up by Rashford - restored the hosts' two-goal
lead in the 65th minute, only for Mesut Ozil to peg them back again four
minutes later
Arsenal pressed for an equaliser
in the closing stages but were unable to find one as their title challenge
faltered to leave them five points behind leaders Leicester and three off local
rivals Tottenham.
The
visitors started the game the quicker and should have taken the lead after
seven minutes, Nacho Monreal hitting his shot too close to David de Gea when
one-on-one after Ozil had flicked a fine first-time pass over the top of the
United backline
