Mesut Ozil Arsenal v Everton - Premier League Arsenal 3-4-1-2

Arsenal suffered a blow to their title challenge after losing 3-2 against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

United played a weakened side with several youngsters and it was one of their young guns Marcus Rashford who opened the scoring on 29 minutes.

The 18-year-old doubled the home sides lead just three minutes later to stun the Gunners.

Mesut Özil setup Danny Welbeck with a brilliant set-piece delivery for the second league game running to get Arsenal back in the game.

United regained their two goal advantage when Herrara scored on 65 minutes but just when it looked like game set and match Özil fired in from close range to make it 3-2.
