Match of the Day 2: MOTD2 - 7th May 2017
Overview
Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the day's Premier League matches, which includes old foes Arsenal and Manchester United going head to head at the Emirates Stadium. United conceded three goals in the first 20 minutes on their last league visit to the Gunners' home, but should have won the meeting between the two sides at Old Trafford earlier this season. They led 1-0 and had not allowed Arsenal even a shot on goal until Olivier Giroud headed home to level for the visitors in the 89th minute. There was also a late equaliser when Southampton last visited Liverpool, with Sadio Mane levelling the score at 1-1 to earn a point for Saints with less than five minutes of the match remaining. Mane has since left to join Liverpool but a season-ending knee injury means he won't be facing his old club at Anfield today.
