LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal's set piece-inspired victory over Manchester United on Wednesday showed the Gunners' ability to score goals in different ways and their sheer will to win after a difficult spell, boss Mikel Arteta said. Jurrien Timber and William Saliba both scored from corners in a 2-0 win, which was Arsenal's fourth on the bounce in all competitions, following a draw and back-to-back defeats before the international break. Even with first-choice centre back Gabriel out injured, Arsenal still posed a constant threat from corners and could have scored more than the two goals they managed from a succession of dangerous set pieces. Arteta, who briefly chuckled after being asked yet another question about their proficiency from dead balls, said this element of Arsenal's game was about being a more complete team. "We want to be very dangerous and very effective from every angle and every phase of play and we work on all of that," he told reporters. "Today we could have scored from open play like we did against West Ham, against Sporting, so the team really has that belief that from every angle we have the mentality to (cause) threat to the opponent and to try to score." Arsenal's victory also came as leaders Liverpool dropped two points in a draw at Newcastle United, meaning Arsenal cut the gap to seven points to the top. Arteta insisted he did not allow the changing score in Liverpool's match to affect his approach to Arsenal's game, but said his team's response to setbacks earlier in the season showed a positive mentality. "The will to win is there," he said. "We tried our best to do that. It's true that we went through a lot in that period, (with) the schedule and the position that we played. A lot of things and you have to react. "It's about trying to do it next. Today, now we've won four in a row -- it doesn't matter, we have to go to Fulham and be better than them."

Pep Guardiola’s side avoided the indignity of a sixth successive defeat in all competitions and looked on course for a welcome victory thanks to a double from Erling Haaland – the first from the penalty spot – and a deflected effort from Ilkay Gundogan. Yet Guardiola was left with his head in hands as Feyenoord roared back in the last 15 minutes with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Sergio Gimenez and David Hancko, two of them after Josko Gvardiol errors.

Arteta wanted his team to prove their European credentials, and goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim.

Kim Min-jae’s header late in the first half was enough to send PSG to a third defeat in the competition this season, leaving them six points off the automatic qualification places for the last 16 with three games to play. Luis Enrique’s side, who had Ousmane Dembele sent off, were deservedly beaten by Bayern who dominated chances and possession. 🔔 FULL TIME – Victory at home! +3 in the #UCL 👏❤️ #FCBayern #MiaSanMia | #FCBPSG #UCL pic.twitter.com/BYE23dXXih — FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) November 26, 2024 Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid were 6-0 winners away to Sparta Prague, Julian Alvarez and Angel Correa each scoring twice whilst there were also goals from Marcos Llorente and Antoine Griezmann.

How did they concede from another set-piece? Why did Noussair Mazraoui make such a rash challenge to concede a penalty? Why was Kobbie Mainoo's pass for the third goal so casual? United fans had more questions than answers as they made an early exit from Old Trafford. Unfortunately, that has become a familiar feeling for supporters who have attended games this season and United were unable to give their fans something to celebrate ahead of Christmas. It was collectively a poor performance and indicative of United's form that the most consistent performer in the dressing room, Mazraoui, made such a bad tackle for the penalty.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite have ended higher as gains by many of the so-called Magnificent Seven tech stocks pushed benchmarks up on a holiday-thinned trading day. or signup to continue reading With megacap stocks having outsized influence on markets, their performance during a week in which many investors take time off will be even more pronounced. Meta Platforms, Nvidia and Tesla all closed higher on Monday, with Google parent Alphabet also in positive territory. The gains helped propel the Nasdaq Composite to its third straight increase, and a second advance in three sessions for the S&P 500. According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 gained 42.96 points, or 0.70 per cent, to end at 5,972.23 points, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 192.29 points, or 0.98 per cent, to 19,764.89. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 61.59 points, or 0.14 per cent, to 42,901.85. After a solid run since the November presidential election, Wall Street's rally hit a bump this month, especially after the US Federal Reserve forecast just two 25-basis-point rate reductions for 2025 - down from its September view of four cuts - and raised its annual inflation outlook. This included a selloff last Wednesday triggered by the US Federal Reserve signalling a slower rate-cut pace. Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Northlight Asset Management, noted that while some course correction has occurred in recent days, as interest-rate expectations have been modified by investors, many of the same trends remain in place, including tech and tech-enabled stocks finding favour. "We're really seeing a microcosm today of what we've seen all year long, and the trends are back in place despite what we've seen in the last couple of weeks where things bounced around a little bit," Zaccarelli said. As well as major benchmark gains, a majority of the S&P sectors finished higher on Monday, led by communication services . Markets are also entering a historically strong period for US stocks. Since 1969, the last five trading days of the year, combined with the first two of the following year, have yielded an average S&P 500 gain of 1.3 per cent - a period known as the "Santa Claus Rally", according to the Stock Trader's Almanac. Northlight's Zaccarelli said he believed conditions were right for such a rally, as this year's gains would likely mean investors would hold on to positions as opposed to selling and booking losses which they can use for tax purposes.
