Arsenal vs Manchester United is one of the defining fixtures of the Premier League era.
The titanic clashes between legendary managers Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson were, and remain, the stuff of legend. Though they are no longer patrolling the touchline, the two clubs continue to define what is arguably the best league in the world.
Now, with the bitter rivals set to lock horns once again on Wednesday, it will be Arsenal supporters who will be hoping for a bit of goalscoring magic akin to the last time the two clubs met on the Emirates carpet.
Locked at 1-1 and heading into stoppage time in the second half, the Gunners pulled ahead in the 6th minute of added time through Declan Rice but were not finished there.
As the Red Devils pushed to claw back level a headed clearance from William Saliba found its way to Reiss Nelson, whose touch set Fábio Vieira into space down the left side.
The Portuguese midfielder then played a fantastic diagonal through ball to Gabriel Jesus who, when finally getting into the box, first danced around Diogo Dalot before ultimately slotting past André Onana to seal all three points in North London.
Thierry Henry would be, and likely was, very proud.
