After brutal start, Manchester United continues surge with rout of Arsenal

Two weeks ago, Manchester United was a mess and the pressure was squarely on manager Erik ten Hag. On Sunday, that rough start continued to fade as United extended its winning streak to four by handing Arsenal its first loss of the English Premier League’s young season.

Antony, the 22-year-old Brazilian United wing signed last week from Ajax, scored in his debut at Old Trafford as United improved to 4-2 and fifth in the EPL with a 3-1 win that dropped first-place Arsenal to 5-1 with 15 points. After the Gunners’ Bukayo Saka made it 1-1 early in the second half, Marcus Rashford scored twice.
