Arsenal win, United draw as Mourinho gets sent off again
In Week 13 of the English Premier league, Arsenal FC continued their unbeaten run, after Sanchez’s two goals plus Walcot’s one helped the gunners spank Bournmouth 3-1 at the Emirates on Sunday.
In the league’s other games, Watford lost 0-1 to Stoke City, Southampton won 1-0 over Everton, and Manchester United drew 1-1 with West Ham.

United went behind in the second minute of the game when Diafra Sakho headed home Dimitri Payet’s free-kick. But Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalised for the Red Devils in the 21st minute, heading home Paul Pogba’s excellently weighted ball, to earn United a point from the game.
However, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho seems to be making a habit of getting sent off to the stands. While the Reds were battling hard to secure a win against Slaven Bilic’s side, Mourinho was sent off by the referee Jon Moss for kicking a water bottle and screaming after Manchester United superstar Paul Pogba received a yellow card for diving.
As it can be recalled this season, Mourinho was sent off against Burnley in the goalless draw on 29th October 2016, when he received his marching orders by referee Mark Clattenburg for arguing with him
over a foul on Matteo Darmian.
The Red devils are currently on the 6th position of the league table, and the Gunners are placed at 4th.
