Arsenal Vs. Manchester United: 0-0 At Halftime

That's the first half done and dusted then at the Emirates then, and it was a slightly bizarre one. There was all of one shot on target - a long range, rather hopeless attempt from Manchester United's Anderson - but Arsenal were dominant in the early stages and really ought to have scored. Jack Wilshere wasted a clear chance in the first few minutes, latching onto a botched clearance on the edge of the box only to shoot horribly wide, but the most obvious opportunity of the match came later when Nemanja Vidic clearly handled a cross from Theo Walcott.

Nothing was given, much to Robin van Persie's fury. That's going to be an interesting talking point later. Referee Chris Foy has been in the middle of things all afternoon, intercepting several passes from Arsenal for some reason and then making up for it by inexplicably booking Wayne Rooney for a marginal foul late in the half. It's been an odd day so far, but there's plenty of time for one of these sides to score a winner in the second half. For now though, it's still scoreless at halftime.
