S123arpedon Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Arsenal run out comfortable winners 3-1 with a great performance against United!! First half was pretty even with Arsenal just edging it with more clear cut chances...No Vieira, Campbell or Pires. United without Ferdinand, Saha and Van Nistelrooy. Great first half but no goals...Second half was a different matter...Arsenal open the scoring throught Gilberto but all thw rok was doen by Reyes who had a great game....he should have scored a wonder goald after dancing his way into the penalty area but his shot hit the side netting... Unitred equalise with a great strike from Smith....but then Reyes pops up with a gold to make it 2-1 and late inthe gamne an own goal from Sovestre seals it. Arsenal did look good...United jsut couldnt match them. They had a shocker in defence. They really need Ferdinand back. On that performance they will do well to get 3rd place in the premiership. Scholes looked class as he normally does for Man U. A nice taster for the opening fixtures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
