The Gunners had Adebayor injured and van Persie suspended but Samir Nasri provided the attacking threat, taking advantage of slack marking in each half to grab his fourth and fifth goals of the season. Rafael da Silva, on as a substitute, volleyed home a late strike to give Sir Alex Ferguson's men hope, but Arsenal held on after six minutes of stoppage-time for the win they needed..
It was Arsenal's first test this season against their traditional top-four rivals and Wenger's men passed the examination. This clash between two heavyweights had everything, chances, yellow cards,counter-attacking and also four penalty shouts.
