Arsenal-Manchester United: In Samir Nasri We Trust

Was there ever any doubt? Arsenal 2, Manchester United 1.

A fantastic game which contained everything: an absolutely great atmosphere, superb passing, endless amounts of chances, and an Arsenal win.

Samir Nasri, who had a fantastic match, scored two great goals in a match that sees Arsenal's season back on track.

Arsenal played the football you'd expect Arsenal to play. To beat one of the best teams 2-1, with an injury plagued team shows just how brilliant Arsenal were.

Abou Diaby, Manuel Almunia, Gael Clichy, Bacary Sanga, and of course Samir Nasri were the stand out performers, but Arsenal didn't have a bad player. Every one put in an amazing amount of work which capped off a superb performance.

For me, the French boys, Samir Nasri and Abou Diaby both were deserving of the Man-of-the-Match.

Nasri was superb down the left and was a constant headache to Gary Neville. His speed and quick feet proved to much for the Manchester United defence.

Abou Diaby was superb and extremely versatile, he played as a second striker and helped in both the midfield and defence. His passing was accurate and smart, and he is making huge steps to becoming Arsenal's next Vieira.

Lastly in the outstanding players department: it was a sigh of relief to see captain William Gallas back to his dominant ways. His tackling and captaincy not to mention passing were superb and it was great to see him back.

Nicklas Bendtner for me is still lacking skill, his performance was fine but I still don't see him as a stand out striker and I would have loved to see Carlos Vela start but it was not to be.

Bendtner was a tad clumsy and his headers should have been stronger, he is not the type of player who should be upfront by himself, but hopefully he will improve and grow on me.

Arsenal need to go forward, keep consistency, and make sure they can keep this form up in the next few games against Aston Villa, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Wigan.

Arsenal must bring the confidence and skill they brought against Manchester United or the win will mean very little.

Hopefully, the win means Arsenal's season is back on the tracks with the train running smoothly and that Arsenal will become serious title contenders.

Finally, thank you, Samir Nasri.
