Over for Arsenal as Trossard Scores Again.

I mean, the long wait for Arsenal to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford is over.

Imagine Arsenal have won at United only once since 2007? And that was in 2020 COVID 19 time when the stadium was empty!

Such was the enormity of the task today which they nervously went through.

This was after Trossard scored the only goal of the match in the 20th minute at Old Trafford to grab all the 3 points.

This means that Arsenal will top the table, at least until Tuesday when Manchester City visits Tottenham.

For United, their coach was magnanimous in defeat and praised Arsenal for their resilience.

Eric Ten Hag praised his injury ravaged squad for showing a good attitude when approaching the game against a top Arsenal side.

Arsenal’s game management was superb, and they didn’t allow United a sniff of their goal. This despite United taking the game to them for most of the cagey game.

At times, United pegged Arsenal back, unafraid of dangerous counter attacks.

And if there’s a time when Arsenal would tell their (Spurs) London neighbours to be their brothers keeper, then it’s now.

A win or a draw for Tottenham against City would give Arsenal hope going to their final game against Everton. Talk of London brotherhood helping Arsenal.

Still, Tottenham have their own motivation since they are fighting to qualify for the UEFA Champions, or the Europa League at worst. Obviously, they wouldn’t much thrilled with getting the less prestigious E

A win for Manchester City would leave Arsenal hoping City drop points in their final game against West Ham, a big ask.
