Arsenal narrowly beat Manchester United to keep title hope alive
In fierce contention for the English Premier League title this season, Arsenal secured a slim 1-0 victory against long-time rival, Manchester United, at Old Trafford.
With just a single goal, Arsenal grabbed the crucial three points to stay atop the EPL log, pending the outcome of Manchester City’s outstanding game.
Though not the best performance from the Gunners, Sunday’s win has extended the title chase till the outcome of all games this season.
Leandro Trossard gave Arsenal the lead 20 minutes into the game with a tap in, damaging United’s chances of Europe qualification.
Sunday’s win made it 27 wins for Arsenal in the league, the highest for the Gunners in history. However, the Gunners would win the title this season only if City slip in their remaining games.
Arsenal now have 86 points in 37 games, while City have garnered 85 points in 36 games.
