Summary
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's battling 1-0 victory over Manchester United in their season opener at Old Trafford.

Plus, the impressive and vitally important performance from David Raya, and favourite smash-and-grab victories over the years.
Producer: Robby Williams
