Arsenal Vs. Manchester United, 2012 Premier League: Match Underway

We're off and running at the Emirates where Arsenal are hosting Manchester United. It's the visitors who kick us off in their blue and black away kits, and they managed to kick the ball out of play within the first thirty seconds for a goal kick. They win Wojiech Szczesny's long punt forward, but immediately turn the ball over to the Gunners defence, who then pass the ball back to their keeper and so we get to do the whole thing over again a few more times.

Finally Arsenal get bored of not attacking and it's youngster Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain who provides the impetus, robbing Phil Jones as the right back tried to break down the wing. Oxlade-Chamberlain did well to get into the area and in good position to cross, but with Robin van Persie lurking at the far post the delivery was unconvincingly hacked clear by Jonny Evans. Good start for Arsenal, but United are sure to reply.
