Another highly charged offering was in the making as old foes Arsenal and Manchester united went head to head at the Emirates stadium on a damp november afternoon.Samir Nasri struck twice as Arsenal beat Manchester United and delivered an emphatic confirmation of manager Arsene Wenger's belief that they are still up there as Premier League contenders this season.
Nasri's deflected shot opened the scoring in the
22nd minute and he doubled their advantage just after the interval with a powerful finish from Cesc Fabregas's pass.
Substitute Rafael volleyed a conselation goal to put United back into contention with a minute of normal time left , but Arsenal survived extra time to clinch the three points.
It was a victory they deserved, United creating and wasting chances but never had the same belief as Arsenal and the home team had the points in the bag.
