Manchester United snatched a dramatic 3-2 victory over Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday, thanks to Matheus Cunha’s stunning 87th-minute strike.

The goal, a last-second switch of direction past the keeper, sealed a pivotal win in United’s title push under Michael Carrick.

In his post-match interview, Cunha couldn’t hide his shock, “When I scored I did not believe it. I tried to go one side, and then the last second went the other side.”

He called it “like a dream, honestly”, adding that he celebrated with fans amid the chaos.

Reflecting on his recent assist in the previous game, Cunha vowed more, “I need to do much more in this United shirt—100%. To wear the shirt is every time you have to show who you really are.”

The win boosts United’s resurgence, with Cunha emerging as a key attacker this season.
