In a gritty and hard-fought encounter, Arsenal secured a vital 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. Despite an uncharacteristically scrappy performance, the Gunners managed to snatch all three points, keeping their Premier League title hopes alive.
The lone goal of the match came in the 20th minute when Leandro Trossard capitalized on a defensive lapse by Casemiro to slot home at the near post. While United showed determination, they lacked the quality to trouble Arsenal’s defense, ultimately failing to test Arsenal keeper David Raya.
With Manchester City still in control of their own destiny, Arsenal’s hopes now rest on Tottenham Hotspur’s ability to do them a favor against City in their upcoming fixture. If successful, Arsenal could find themselves within touching distance of their first Premier League title in 20 years.
The match was played under challenging weather conditions, with a heavy storm hitting Manchester late in the game. However, the adverse weather did little to dampen Arsenal’s spirits as they celebrated a crucial victory.
While the win may not have been pretty, it sets the stage for a thrilling finale to the Premier League season. Arsenal have asked the question of Manchester City, and now it’s up to City to respond. Regardless of the outcome, Arsenal’s resilience and character throughout the campaign have been evident, signaling a positive trajectory for the club under manager Mikel Arteta.
