Man Utd started the match quite well, but once again, Casemiro’s mistake caused the Red Devils to concede. He let the opponent break the offside trap and then Leandro Trossard had a close-range finish to put Arsenal ahead in the 20th minute.
Although Man Utd tried hard after that, they could not get an equalizer, as the home team’s strikers had a day of not making good use of the opportunities they had. The competition at Old Trafford ended with a 1-0 victory for Arsenal. This result helps coach Mikel Arteta and his team temporarily surpass Man City to return to the top of the Premier League, with only 1 point more than their opponent but playing 1 more match.
