Netherland’s international striker Robin van Persie who joined Manchester United from Arsenal, did not hesitate to hold in check his former side 1-0 during Sunday’s Premier League derby between both sides at Old Trafford.
Van Persie scored the only goal of the meeting as he has never failed to score against his ex-employers since now three games in succession.
United have now closed to within five points of Arsenal, who suffered their first league defeat since the opening day of the season.
