United found themselves 3-1 to the good in the early stages of the second half, but the Gunners fought back to level the scores and take a share of the spoils. Arnau Puigmal grabbed two goals for United with Joe Hugill, the former Sunderland striker, claiming the other.
This game was staged at the home of National League side, Boreham Wood, in the Hertfordshire town, north of London, perhaps best known for its links to the film industry and the famous Elstree Studios.
The Gunners started the match hoping to halt a four-match sequence which had seen them plunge to the foot of the table, whilst United were also looking for a first victory of the season following a draw and two defeats and occupying a spot in the table just above Arsenal.
