Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suffered his first defeat in the English Premier League as caretaker manager of Manchester United, as his side was beaten 2-0 by Arsenal. A goal from Granit Xhaka and a second half penalty from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were enough to separate the sides in an entertaining fixture at the Emirates Stadium.
It was the Norwegian's first league defeat in 13 matches, a record which saw his side win 10 times and draw twice. The loss is also Solskjaer's first away defeat in all competitions since replacing Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford in December 2018.
It was somewhat of a comedown from Manchester United's heroics in Paris four days earlier -- which saw the Reds beat PSG and reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League in astonishing circumstances.
