Arsenal stuns Manchester United with three goals in 19 minutes

Manchester United has a chance to overtake rival Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table with a win over Arsenal Sunday, but the Gunners got off to a brilliant start at home with three beautiful goals in the first 19 minutes of the game.

Mesut Özil and Aaron Ramsey combined to beat four Manchester United defenders inside the United penalty area, allowing Özil to fire a low cross to an arriving Alexis Sánchez, who flicked the ball with his back foot past David De Gea.

One minute later, Özil was rewarded with a goal of his own. Theo Walcott calmly cut back a furious run into the area and found Özil at the penalty spot, in the perfect position to hit a first-time strike into the side netting.

Sánchez struck again in the 20th minute with the most impressive finish of the day. The Colombian beat Matteo Darmian at the top of the box, giving him just enough time to unleash a laser to the top right corner.
