Aubameyang ended a five-game league streak without a goal – scoring with his first shot on goal in his last three games in the competition.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s penalty in the second half gave Arsenal their first away Premier League victory over Manchester United since 2006.
Aubameyang ended a five-game scoreless streak by sending David de Gea down the wrong path in the 69th minute after Paul Pogba fouled Hector Bellerin.
United tried to come back, but were no closer to equalizing than when a cross shot from Donny van de Beek hit Mohamed Elneny and then into the face of goalkeeper Bernd Leno before bouncing towards safety off a post.
It was not the biggest competition between two clubs that used to fight for the biggest prizes, but now they are a pale imitation of what they were before.
While Arsenal will be delighted with the deserved victory, this was not the kind of United performance that did justice to the memory of club legend Nobby Stiles, who died on Friday.
Pogba is the most prominent figure in the United midfield that World Cup winner Stiles used to operate in. But the Frenchman had a day to forget, giving away the ball too cheaply when his team attacked and fouling Bellerin unnecessarily to turn the match at Arsenal. path.
The Gunners now have 12 points and are in eighth place and United remains in 15th place with seven points.

Arsenal end the long wait for an away win for the ‘big six’
It’s only been two weeks since Arsenal visited Manchester and they did quite well, only to lose to a Raheem Sterling goal at City. Last week United and another London club, Chelsea, played a totally forgettable goalless draw at Old Trafford.
The first half of this contest felt like a combination of the two games.
United were a shadow of the team that beat RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday. His only decent chance came when Marcus Rashford found Mason Greenwood with an excellent pass through the box, but Bernd Leno saved with his feet and would have been disappointed had he been hit at the near post.
Arsenal were decent. Egyptian midfielder Elneny justified his selection ahead of Granit Xhaka with an excellent on-screen performance from the visiting defense. William got ahead of him and Arsenal enjoyed most of the possession.
But they never really seemed to believe they could score.
Alexandre Lacazette could have done it if Victor Lindelof hadn’t nudged Aubameyang’s passing.
Willian brushed the bar shortly after and Bukayo Saka should have done much better when Bellerin took him out with a right cross.
Aubameyang also lacked conviction as he seized an excellent opportunity after the break, but given a chance from the spot, the former Borussia Dortmund player delivered, in the process, ending Arsenal’s unwanted 29-game wait for a win as visitor against a teammate of the ‘big six’. rival.
Solskjaer is not celebrating his century and Mason Greenwood (center) produced one of Manchester United’s two shots on goal during the match.
This was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s 100th game in charge of United, and it still feels like they’re taking a step forward, before another setback follows.
For the past two weeks, United have been excellent in Newcastle, excellent in Paris and brilliant against RB Leipzig. In the middle they were lukewarm against Chelsea and worse in this game. Add in the 6-1 home loss to Tottenham just before the international break and it’s no wonder questions remain about Solskjaer as the right man for the job.
He was left with the same diamond formation that worked perfectly against Leipzig, only to find it completely ineffective against the well-drilled side of Mikel Arteta, who did not allow United the space they had enjoyed midweek.
Besides Pogba, Bruno Fernandes was anonymous and it can only be concluded that Edinson Cavani is not fit yet, otherwise he would have been introduced much earlier than he was.
As it stands, United are just three places above the relegation zone and, although the season is still early, and they have a game in hand, they are still without a home win.
It’s the first time this has happened since 1972 and the gap with the clubs they are expected to fight for honors is growing.
United’s fall at home – the statistics
- Only Chelsea (18) have won more Premier League matches against United than Arsenal, with this their 16th win against the Red Devils.
