Arsenal Secures Vital Win Against Manchester United: Dream of Premier League Title Lives On

Arsenal clings to their dream. This Sunday, the Gunners provided the essentials against a powerless Manchester United team (0-1), during the 37th day of the Premier League. Without forcing their game, the Londoners opened the scoring through Leandro Trossard (20th), then were content to defend. Mikel Arteta’s players regain first place, but still have one game more than Manchester City. Arsenal have done the job, the ball is in the Skyblues’ court.

In the first moments, Mikel Arteta’s players created good pressure, which allowed Bukayo Saka to get the first opportunity of the match (3rd). But subsequently, the Londoners left possession to their opponents of the day, content to resist the weak Mancunian attempts and try their luck in transition. The Gunners did not need to take any risks to succeed in opening the scoring. Kai Havertz took advantage of a bad placement by Casemiro on a restart from André Onana to serve Leandro Trossard right in front of the goal. The Belgian was quick to score his twelfth goal of the season and give the Gunners the advantage (20th).

Less flamboyant, Arsenal mainly managed

After securing the essentials and temporarily regaining their first place, the visitors held back for the entirety of the first period. Opposite, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo, for his first start of the season in the Premier League, were the two players with the most legs. The two Mancunian wingers provoked several times on their respective sides, but systematically came up against the rough and imperturbable defense of Arsenal. In the second half, the Mancuniens also experienced a few bursts, mainly due to accelerations from Garnacho or Diogo Dalot, but William Saliba and his teammates always had the last word.

Arsenal woke up at the end of the match, to try to make the break and thus not scare themselves. But André Onana was in good shape and released several dangerous balls, against Martin Odegaard (65th), Gabriel Martinelli (79th) or even with an impressive double save (83rd). Ultimately, Manchester United failed to crack the defense, despite fourteen attempts throughout the match, including seven from Alejandro Garnacho. All attention is now focused on the match between Manchester City and Tottenham this Tuesday, which will dictate the strong trend for the English champion title.
