Arsenal secured a crucial victory against Manchester United with a winning goal from Leandro Trossard in a tense match at Old Trafford. Trossard’s goal, scored on the 20th minute, helped Arsenal clinch a 1-0 win, marking only the second victory for Arsenal in 17 away games against United. This victory propelled Arsenal to the top of the Premier League table, one point ahead of their rivals. Despite the win, Manchester City still holds the destiny of the title in their hands with two matches remaining in the season.
The defeat further dampened Manchester United’s hopes of qualifying for European competitions next season. Erik ten Hag’s side, though showing more determination compared to their previous match against Crystal Palace, have only managed to win one out of their last eight Premier League games. United now sits eighth in the table, three points behind both Newcastle and Chelsea.
Arsenal’s victory showcased their consistent form in 2024 as they continue their pursuit of their first league title in 20 years. The team’s impressive record of 15 wins and one draw in 17 league games since the start of the year highlights their determination and focus.
Despite facing an injury-ravaged United, Arsenal did not have it easy and had to work hard to secure the win. The match, played under unusually stifling heat, did not see the expected United onslaught. Arsenal’s defense held strong, conceding no goals and securing their sixth clean sheet in their last seven away league games.
The pressure now shifts to Manchester City, who have the opportunity to reclaim the top spot when they face West Ham on the final day of the season. The title race has intensified, with Arsenal, Manchester City, and other top contenders vying for the prestigious Premier League trophy. Fans can expect an exciting finish to the season as the top teams battle it out for domestic glory.
