REMEMBER FERGIE TIME? NOW HERE'S ARTY TIME

IT FINISHED in an unforgettable crescendo.

Two Arsenal goals in added time, Declan Rice's wild celebrations and Manchester United cursing after a remarkable emotional roller coaster at the Emirates.

Arsenal fans could barely believe it because what had been a rather average game, played out by two rather average-looking teams, suddenly produced in stoppage time.

The Gunners will feel energised and their start to the campaign looks decent after three wins and a draw in the first four games, though they have yet to play anywhere near their best.

They have made such a habit of winning games at the death and last season those victories galvanised them and drove their whole season.

Remind you of someone? It used to be United manager Sir Alex Ferguson anxiously tapping his watch and demanding a dramatic finish.

Today it is Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and he will be hoping this gives his side lift-off.
