Manchester United vs Arsenal: Spoils shared after Jesse Lingard equaliser
Re-live the action from Old Trafford
Manchester United and Arsenal played out a rip-roaring draw as Jose Mourinho's men twice responded to freakish goals and secured a share of the spoils against Unai Emery's side.
Neither Sir Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger were involved in the fixture for the first time since 1986, but the former was in the stands for an encounter as entertaining as some of the memorable clashes during their Premier League duopoly.
Anthony Martial levelled shortly after David De Gea's uncharacteristic mistake saw Shkodran Mustafi open the scoring in the first half at Old Trafford, where Jesse Lingard secured a 2-2 draw just 75 seconds after substitute Alexandre Lacazette squeezed Arsenal back into the lead.
It was a frantic, and at times feisty, encounter at Old Trafford, which saw Emery's Arsenal rack up a 20th unbeaten game in all competitions as another winless league match leaves United off the pace in the top-four hunt.

It has been a day of news in Southampton with Ralph Hasenhuttl appointed as manager.
The Austrian takes full charge from tomorrow, so it is assistant coach Kelvin Davis who is in caretaker charge this evening. A tough visit to Wembley against a Spurs side who will be very keen to right the wrongs of the North London Derby on Sunday.
It is Anthony Martial's birthday today, with the French striker turning 23.
Will there be cause for further celebrations after tonight's game at Old Trafford? Martial starts alongside Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford in the front three.
15 minutes until kick off in the early slate, half-an-hour until the two later games get underway.
Six of the top eight in action tonight. Tasty...
One of those starting for Liverpool is Divock Origi, he of the bizarro injury time winner in the Merseyside Derby at the weekend.
For one fan, that goal will stay with him forever...
Kick off at Turf Moor, Goodison Park, Craven Cottage and Molineux.
Five minutes in around the four grounds. No goals to speak of just yet, though Wolves, Leicester and Everton have all had early chances.
The players are in the tunnel at Old Trafford.
Kick off in Manchester and at Wembley is about five minutes away.
Manchester United vs Arsenal and Tottenham vs Southampton are underway.
Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal, 2 minutes
Matching back-threes at Old Trafford.
Jesse Lingard tries to get in behind the Arsenal defence but Marcus Rashford can't find the gap to find him.
Positive start from the home side.
