The 35-year-old striker, who spent 13 years at Man Utd before joining Arsenal in 2014, scored against his old club, spoiling interim manager Darren Fletcher’s second game in charge.
Welbeck, a former teammate of Fletcher, praised him, saying: “He helped me massively as a young player at Man Utd. It was nice to see him on the sidelines. I have the utmost respect for Darren Fletcher.”
