It was intriguing, tactical and, at the end of the day, a potentially crippling defeat for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger. Here's the story of Man Utd's 2-1 win over Arsenal in tweets.
Chris Smalling the boss in a three at the back for Man Utd. McNair right, Blackett left. Smalling a bit agitated by the job.

Fellaini did Wilshere a massive favour. He goes down and it's a red card.

Man United are yet to have a shot on target, but are 1-0 up vs. Arsenal. pic.twitter.com/UB0sBW8mNd — Squawka Football (@Squawka) November 22, 2014
Wenger's record against top teams is terrible. Never wins the tactical battle against leading coaches.

Robin van Persie completed just two passes vs. Arsenal today, one of which was from kick off in the first half. pic.twitter.com/Yha4fqjyoR — Squawka Football (@Squawka) November 22, 2014
Arsenal fans behind dugout holding up posters with "Enough is Enough - Wenger Out". Seems like a recurring theme here.

Man United been superb. De Gea fantastic. United ruthless on counter. Arsenal lacked killer instinct. #afc fans increasingly frustrated. — John Cross (@johncrossmirror) November 22, 2014

When will Arsenal ever learn? Always concede on counter attacks. — Mark Ogden (@MOgdenTelegraph) November 22, 2014
20 - Angel Di Maria has now recorded 20 league assists in 2014, more than any other player in the top five European leagues. Provider.

Thumping finish from Giroud. 1-2. Many #afc fans have left, others screaming team on in final few seconds. — Henry Winter (@henrywinter) November 22, 2014
Arsenal: 10 defeats from last 15 v Chelsea; 11 from last 15 v United. Records of mid-table side v big teams. Not coincidence. Not just cash.

Man Utd's 1st away league win. Have lost only 1 in 15 v Arsenal in all comps. Poor 1st half, defended lead tenaciously, then countered. 1-2. — Paul Hayward (@_PaulHayward) November 22, 2014
Remarkable United claimed a win away to a notional Champions League side with that defence. Arsenal just 3 wins in last 30 v United/Chelsea.

Excellent win for #mufc with defence depleted (as ever). De Gea superb. Boos from home crowd rather harsh. Much of what #afc did was v good — Oliver Kay (@OliverKayTimes) November 22, 2014
17 - 17 points from 12 games is Arsenal’s worst ever start in the Premier League. Flat.

Arsenal lose their first home game in the Premier League in 23 matches - their last coming to Aston Villa on the opening day of last season. — Squawka Football (@Squawka) November 22, 2014
Plenty of dissent towards Wenger. Injuries an excuse but defensive issues not addressed (Monreal at c-b), few leaders & no real Plan B. #afc
