Arsenal [Images] proved they are far from a spent force in the Premier League on Saturday with a 2-1 win over champions Manchester United [Images] at the Emirates.
Samir Nasri was the hero for the Gunners, scoring in each half to send Arsene Wenger's side above United into third place.
The busy French midfielder, a big-money signing from Olympique Marseille in July, scored against the run of play after 23 minutes when his shot deflected in off Gary Neville and he thumped home a second two minutes after the interval.
Substitute Rafael volleyed a late reply for United but the home side hung on through six minutes of stoppage time.
