Wednesday Recap

Manchester United's winless run in the Premier League now stretches to four games after they were held at home by Arsenal. 

Manager Jose Mourinho surprised some with his starting XI. The Red Devils boss opted to drop Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku:

The hosts started off with an intensity and drive that has largely been missing from their play this season, but they went behind through an error from goalkeeper David De Gea. The Spain international failed to deal with a header from Shkodran Mustafi, and Ander Herrera could not prevent it from going over the line. 

Squawka Football highlighted De Gea's record:

Arsenal's lead did not last long, as Martial equalised four minutes later from close range after goalkeeper Bernd Leno could only parry a Marcos Rojo shot.

Sky Sports Statto showed his impressive goalscoring form:

Alexandre Lacazette put Arsenal back in front on 68 minutes, but Lingard levelled almost immediately after capitalising on a mix-up between Leno and Sead Kolasinac.

Arsenal did have other chances to score in the second half, but De Gea made up for his earlier error with some important saves:

The result means Arsenal dropped to fifth, while Manchester United are eight points off the top four. The Red Devils showed plenty of character, but once again they simply lacked quality.

Liverpool remain hot on the heels of Manchester City at the top, but they had to come from behind against a struggling Burnley side.

Jurgen Klopp opted to rotate his team and started without Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

The Reds struggled to create chances in a goalless first half, and they went behind after the break when Jack Cork poked home from close range.

James Milner managed to find an equaliser with a low shot, before substitute Firmino put the visitors ahead with his first touch of the match:

Switzerland international Xherdan Shaqiri sealed the winner late on, finishing off a quick counter-attack to keep the Reds within touching distance of the champions at the top.
