Theo Walcott gave the cause to the hosts in the second minute as Arsenal raced out of the blocks nevertheless the Gunners were pegged back at the conclusion of the half courtesy of a van Persie charge. Following a week's worth of speculation, van Persie started on his return to the Emirates while Lukas Podolski also made a rare start as Arsenal's central striker with Olivier Giroud lacking with suspension. The Gunners got off to the start in front of their red hot home help when Walcott beat the offside trap and comfortably discovered a way past David de Gea from a small angle within the second second. Santi Cazorla then stung the arms of the United owner with a shot from variety as Arsenal maintained their early impetus. Van Persie's first genuine participation in the sport was a miscued shot which sailed high over the bar Ajust after the 10 second mark, much to the joy of the Gunners' followers. These supporters then collectively held their breath minutes later when the Dutchman broke down the left flank before crossing for Phil Jones who did not find the goal with a header after surging in to the box. Wenger's men lost some of that early impetus while the first half proceeded but were stimulated back into existence when Jonny Evans brought down Walcott just outside the region. The free end was wasted but minutes later Arsenal had a glorious chance to increase its cause on the counterattack. Rosicky selected to move to Podolski, as opposed to the unmarked Walcott, but his shot could be only fired by the German from a small angle straight at De Gea. Strategy then had Wojciech Szczesny to thank for keeping it ahead prior to the break. The Poland international made himself big to keep out van Persie's header from point-blank range after a instant United counterattack. But minutes later van Persie made no mistake, this time around from the location, after Sagna's allergy challenge on the Dutchman gave United a punishment. The Gunners made a brilliant start following the break and might have gone forward early on but Tomas Rosicky's prod with the surface of his shoe whistled just at night De Gea's far post. Friend Alex's area quickly edged back in the contest and dictated the overall game for a period of time of a quarter-hour. Van Persie over-hit a low cross after dark onrushing Antonio Valencia before Wayne Rooney lost an excellent chance with a header right atASzczesny from close range. Collection rallied for a winner in a end-to-end end to fit with the visitors still a danger on the split but the clear-cut chance could be fashioned by neither side needed seriously to win the game. Cazorla came close with a powerful right-footed picture which was palmed away by De Gea with minutes left on the clock before a great opportunity was wasted by Ryan Giggs when found completely unmarked on the break by Rooney.
