Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez has been pretty quiet today for Manchester United, and Sir Alex Ferguson has responded to that by introducing the Premier League's leading goalscorer. Enter Dimitar Berbatov to give Arsenal's suddenly stretched defence new and less-than fun problems, although they don't have to worry about Chicharito being twice as fast as their collective back line anymore.
Arsenal Vs. Manchester United: Chicharito Substituted For Dimitar Berbatov
They do have to worry about Chris Foy calling handballs on the edge of the box, though - Wayne Rooney goes very close with a free kick directed at the near post, and the hosts can only escape when Fabio da Silva brings down Jack Wilshere and earns a yellow card for his troubles. Manchester United come again, however, and somehow contrive to waste a four on two after Wayne Rooney demolished Laurent Koscielny near the halfway line, Nani firing straight at Wojciech Szczesny from a silly angle.
At the other end of the pitch, Robin van Persie managed to sneak in unmarked at the far post following a cross from Theo Walcott, but the angle is far too acute for him to do anything with and he crashes a shot into the side netting. That delivery is Walcott's last contribution, the England winger replaced by the more defensively inclined Emmanuel Eboue.
