Even if United do go out here at least they can look back on the positive that they got one round further into the Carabao Cup compared to last year.

Mikel sending a message to Eze with that substitution? That coach journey sitting next to Heinze looking at an iPad will be fun

I got to say, as comfortable as this is, I know the game is over...but Gyokeres is having a stinker.

Where's Hincapie? Presume Arteta wouldn't have risked Gabriel if he didn't need to.

Strange how that was a penalty for Sunderland yesterday, today foul for the defending side. Anderson not looking at the ball. Wasn't that what they were clamping down on? Dodgy.

This refereeing display is really dodgy. Michael Oliver and his love affair with Manchester City goes on.

Carrick starting to look a little out of his depth here. Have United made the same mistake they made with Ole?

Pretty awful half of football. Funny at times, but a real lack of quality out there at the moment.

Bruno Fernandes does kick him while he is on the floor but the reaction is so dumb.

First 20 minutes have been lacking any real quality so far, especially in the final third.
Deserved red for Foden! Can't kick out at people, even if it is tempting!

Mainoo and Tielemans together makes for a very slow midfield. Hoping I'm wrong but don't see United getting anything here.

Two people thought that was a penalty against Arsenal. The referee and of course, Jared Gillett on VAR.

How many Arsenal teams in the past have we seen who would eventually crumble in a game like that, with a crowd like that, with opposition like that, with a ref like that?
We should not underestimate what a fucking tough nut to crack we are these days.

Some games you really, really have to scrap to win. This was one of those.
Raya's penalty save so important, Bruno's goal absolutely sensational especially given his Newcastle connection, but I loved the fight and determination.
Konsa absolutely having no bullshit from Xhaka! Great 3 points.

"Fletch" is doing my head in. Begging for a Sunderland goal.

How long are they allowed to take their long throw ins??

Few players having a real battle out there. Tzolis quiet, MLS struggling. Konsa really being pushed to his limit by Brobbey. Need to get to half time.

A game we absolutely deserved to win, but we made harder work of it because our finishing was woeful until Martin Odegaard stepped up to crack home the winner.
The captain was brilliant again tonight, overall we played well bar the shooting, and to come away from Napoli with a win is a good result.

Martin Ødegaard's performance rightly takes the headlines but let's give Ezri Konsa his flowers, too. Excellent performance from the new Arsenal CB.

Head and shoulders above any player on the pitch tonight. Odegaard is in some form.

I just don't think he fits in. Just seems like a spare part currently. He always gives his all and tries but it feels we are playing around him.
Arsenal have had 20 shots and Gyokeres has had none.
Credited with creating four chances, though.

How has Hincapie missed that?!

The game just seems to pass Gyokeres by doesn't it? His movements in and around the box are pretty awful.
