The ball went to Cole Palmer, who shot from the 16 line into the net to take the lead
In the 11th minute of stoppage time, Arsenal equalized with a rebound shot, so the referee ruled for penalty kicks. The Gunners hit all four of their shots flawlessly, while Manchester United missed two of three and lost the duel.
