United look more likely to score a fourth than Arsenal are to equalise.
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
United have scored three goals against Arsenal at Old Trafford in a Premier League fixture for the first time since a 3-2 win on 28 February 2016. Marcus Rashford made his league debut that day, scoring twice.
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
Credit where it's due as Cristiano Ronaldo closes down Gabriel and forces him into an error but just as he looks like he could race in, he's penalised for fouling the Arsenal player.
Now Bukayo Saka shoots straight at David de Gea from the corner of the box.
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
Arsenal have two proper strikers on now but Nuno Tavares' cross is far too high. Nobody could reach that.
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
United bring on Jesse Lingard for Marcus Rashford.
Arsenal introduce Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Martin Odegaard.
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang really should score here. A loose ball drops to him about eight yards out and he hits it straight at the keeper. Offside flag goes up anyway.
FT: Tottenham 2-0 Brentford
Brentford
Brentford manager Thomas Frank talking to BBC Sport: "On the day we lost to a better team. I am pleased with the attitude and work ethic - we were very brave. We came here and played our game. On the ball we could have played it a bit more forward, particularly in the first half, but we wanted to be on the ball. We were really in the game in the second half, and sniffing something, but there was one moment where we didn't track a runner and they scored and then we were very good again.
"If we want to get anything from the game we can't concede the second goal, end of. We shouldn't haven't conceded the corner for the first goal too, simple.
"We have to learn from the second goal. I always think you win or learn and today we definitely learn. We were on top before the second goal and then we switched off, didn't track a runner and goal.
"I believe that we could have won this game. For whatever reason we couldn't today. We have to do what we can to get three points against Leeds at the weekend."
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
Do you ever expect Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score these days?
Arseal break from their own half and Gabriel Martinelli finds Auba on the left but his 20-yard shot is disappointing and saved down low by David de Gea.
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
Martin Odegaard's corner is cleared. On the halfway line Cristiano Ronaldo is denied a one-on-one chance by a handball decision.
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
Martin Odegaard swings it in and fellow Scandi Victor Lindelof heads it behind.
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
Arsenal have a free-kick, on the right about 30 yards out. Maybe crossing rather than shooting range.
FT: Tottenham 2-0 Brentford
Brentford
Brentford keeper Alvaro Fernandez, speaking to Amazon Prime: "It wasn't easy. Today was good opportunity for us because if we had won we would have finished in seventh position. We have to go again on Sunday. Spurs pressed us so much. With Harry Kane, Son and Moura... it's normal when you come here that you suffer until the end. We tried to create opportunities but we couldn't score."
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
Bukayo Saka is on for Emile Smith Rowe, in a move which costs me five fantasy football points.
Saka was getting ready to come on before the goal anyway.
Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal
That's a big hand in three goals for Fred now. Two at the right end.
Cristiano Ronaldo (69 mins)
That's 801 goals for Cristiano Ronaldo.
He runs up, waits for Aaron Rsdale to move and hammers it high and right down the centre where the goalkeeper had just left.
Man Utd 2-2 Arsenal
It's given.
Man Utd 2-2 Arsenal
Martin Atkinson goes to the screen and will surely give this. Martin Odegaard takes Fred and not the ball. It's a penalty.
Man Utd 2-2 Arsenal
Martin Odegaard slides in on Fred in the box. Martin Atkinson says no penalty. But did Odegaard touch the ball?
FT: Tottenham 2-0 Brentford
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham manager Antonio Conte talking to BBC Sport: "It was a good win. To get three points today was very important. If you are not prepared to play against Brentford you can suffer. We played a good game with the right intensity. We had many chances to improve the result but we have to be satisfied with the performance. The points are important for the confidence of our fans and for ourselves and to believe in the work that we are doing every day.
"After four weeks I can only speak well about the players. They are showing great will, commitment and desire. It is important to concentrate on the league. We can enjoy the win till midnight, but one second after midnight we need to start thinking about the difficult game on Sunday. We need to get three points because that is only way to stay close to the high part of the table.
"I am not worried about Harry Kane. He played a really good game. He had chances to score, but the goalkeeper was very good. He was in every offensive situation and the point of reference. To have a player like this and to play with his commitment, desire and passion makes me very happy with his performance. It doesn't matter if he scores as long as he plays in this way - I am delighted. Tottenham in the first thing we need to think about."
Man Utd 2-2 Arsenal
Lovely defending by Gabriel to stop Jadon Sancho's probing ball finding Cristiano Ronaldo. End to end.
