UNITED 8-2 ARSENAL | On This Day (28 August 2011) | Extended Highlights | Manchester United Classics

The first heavyweight clash of the season at Old Trafford United Arsenal One of the Premier League's great games, but clubs have hardly had such different starts to the campaign. Everything has been positive for the champions. Two wins galore. Nothing but problems for Arsenal. key players who left injuries and suspensions a point and no goals scored in their first games. It's incredible, I think with Arsenal doing that on the goalkeeper you are very, very lucky, aware of Danny Wilbeck when you are on top of the goalkeeper, he is really. There is a lot of wind, it is quite difficult, in fact, there is a nanny for United facing the French Koppel and a good ball, as well as for the little spawning triori, back to Cleveland, oh that was not far away, ha exceptional state where that's not going to make that ball go through

this

pretty little ball. for him from the nanny they had him too early maybe maybe they just hit him a little early Walcott Jenkinson they were both missing there on the flank and now he's young again, it's a good ball in which Rooney deflected anderson the first two lovely balls when looking for welbeck danny welbeck's dream story continues what a week he has had goals against tottenham now he has scored against

arsenal

one to zero that is a bad game from

arsenal

and bad defenders i love anderson's ball but you think the goalkeeper is going to make a decision come why are you winning

this

and have I done it in the summer?

I can't believe I can't believe he's apparently getting how to make you a

united

hero. Damn, you still lead

united

. Well, what did Anderson say here before taking the penalty? Well oh sensational, Ashley Young's first goal for Manchester United, I'm not sure he'll ever get a better one. Shout two to zero for the champions. I'm looking at that, I say it myself, surely you're not going to shoot from there he knows exactly what stuart the anderson is doing you must have kept your foot down here you're able to score that's a good save bad person another good save so far this one game last season was a lot tighter than a minute well, that's a What a ball at the moment, that could be a say what's the referee going to do about it because Jenkinson has had a miserable first half, he's in trouble here, it's Rooney who takes it, Rooney, brilliant, outstanding and Arsenal have been swept mercilessly by the three champions. -nil great free kick now, didn't it go through the goalkeeper and give Arsenal hope right at the end of the first half?

Walcott joins three Arsenal one and Walcott Anderson smartly looks for a little chance too smart. Oh, saved by Schezler. anderson young ashley young saved by chesney manny totally wrong no definitely falling asleep he's still depressed he's suffering it's like falling asleep there that's why they actually have their moments like their chances rooney lets him go chicharito pushed by jewels there divided that referee, yeah , sensational wayne rooney, two brilliant free kicks in this game and surely arsenal will not come back from this united four arsenal one, so many players flooding forward, put to sword here 5-1, I don't think the score is over either oh to park jason park arsenal's nemesis has hit and arsenal has been hit by six in old trafford united six arsenal one another and I don't think that's the end either stuart but the thing is that at the beginning of

august

they are going to be eight points behind United eight points already jenkinson walcott and van persie waiting in the area full jones with a header back into danger again van persie scores oh that's the mark and that was a bad mark that was a bad score surely jenkins had to take a shot correct free on the edge of the area second yellow and arsenal's problems continue jenkinson emergency sent off right back at the moment oh everett has a long way oh a chance for wayne rooney to get his hat-trick everett pushed for the world cup no he's a right back wayne rooney against chesney remembers he missed one in this game last season rooney steps up patrick and arsenal concede seven at old trafford wayne rooney gets his hat trick a glorious afternoon for the champions league giggs galloping clear men trying to join him from midfield this is young on his right foot, can you believe Manchester United have scored eight goals against Arsenal?

Records will be smashed here 8-2, what a blow, what strength. He will show no mercy. Time is up now that we have had three minutes of stoppage time. And that's it, we witnessed something quite extraordinary at Old Trafford this afternoon. Arsenal humiliated themselves and humiliated themselves by conceding eight goals at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick with two glorious free kicks. Two tremendous goals from Young and he also scored. Welbeck Park and Nanny. but it's rooney who walks away with the ball, this has been america and the day when anyone lucky enough to be here will long remember the fantastic performance of the champions, let's listen now from a haunted locker room, let's start with sir Alex, right, it's extraordinary, incredible, what is your reaction to the score?

Well, I mean, when you play, you respond, you don't expect that, but we've had great results against him in the past, you know that, but when we see ourselves, we can team up. With that you know that we expect to score goals and that's what I felt. All the quality was in Arsenal's forward positions and they were a big threat. At times they could have scored more than two goals, so it was a fun game. A strange result. but you know where you can only do one job and I think the players stayed professional that way and did the best they could.

I mean, they obviously had a lot of players out due to injuries, but to score eight against one of your supposed title rivals. It's an extraordinary achievement, well it's unusual because you don't expect it, but we've scored six against some twice in the past, so maybe when we hit form with that, someone suffers, you know, and today, unfortunately, Arsenal suffered when many of People thought United were the big favorites before this game, but can you believe they are eight? No, we didn't expect to score any goals, but you know we attacked it very well and I think once the game opened up a little more.

We took advantage of our opportunities and I think we deserved the victory, but as I say, we didn't expect to score eight, but we are grateful to have done it today, a hat trick for you today, you surpassed 150 goals for the club, it is a special day for you, yes Of course, it's always a great feeling to score and, um, score. You know, over 150 goals for a club like United is a great feeling and yes, I hope there are many more to come, really well done, have you ever experienced that? something like that in a Premier League game no, I don't have to be honest, but you know we did our job from the first minute to the final whistle and you know we were fantastic today and you know we found an Arsenal team that wasn't so good that day and now we've beaten them I know you wanted to claim the goal at West Brom but if we say you don't get it that's not a bad way to open your account at Old Trafford today, of course not, obviously I'm not going to get West's Brom, so you know I'm definitely going to pick these two today and they were obviously happy with the finishes but it was a great team performance and everyone was Fantastic today, that result will send shock waves through the league right?

Steve would say you know it's so early in the season you know we're showing great energy right now and great enjoyment in the game and that's important. and you know we won't, obviously you want to keep this team as strong as possible, we have an injury to danny welbeck running into vedic and an injury to rafa and we are just starting the season that always started, luckily we have a strong team and we need them to defend to arsene wenger on his show, today there will obviously be an investigation into this. Do you feel a little sympathy for him, of course, because he is a great footballer?

He has done an incredible job for Arsenal. For 15 years he has provided a quality of football that you have never experienced. He brought some interesting players to his club. You know he deserves respect for that and you know how to protect yourself.
