Defeating Man Utd, Arsenal regained the top spot in the Premier League

(VTC News) - The 1-0 victory over Man Utd in round 37 helped Arsenal regain the top spot in the Premier League after round 37.

Man Utd welcomed Arsenal in the late match of round 37 of the Premier League. With few goals left, the Red Devils still showed determination, at least to prevent Arsenal from advancing to the championship. In the first 15 minutes, Man Utd played well and had 67% ball possession. But when the game was favorable, Man Utd unexpectedly conceded a goal.

In the 21st minute, Kai Havertz received a pass from his teammate and crossed the ball to Leandro Trossard who tapped the ball into the net to open the score. This was a situation where Casemiro made a positional error, allowing the Arsenal player to successfully break the offside trap. Unexpectedly losing, Man Utd lost the game to their opponents.

Trossard scores for Arsenal.

For the rest of the first half, both Man Utd and Arsenal continued to miscoordinate. Man Utd's play revolved around Kobbie Mainoo, but the midfielder was not sharp enough to create opportunities for his teammates. Without Bruno Fernandes, the home team appeared to be stuck in decisive situations in front of Arsenal's penalty area. The first 45 minutes passed without any goals being scored.

In the second half, Man Utd showed no bright spots in the way they developed the ball. They were even inferior to Arsenal. Outside the field, coach Erik ten Hag appeared worried but he had no other possible personnel options. It was not until Amad Diallo was injured that Antony was brought on the field. But the Brazilian midfielder contributed mainly with enthusiasm, not quality of play.

In the final minutes of the match, Arsenal retreated deep into their own half to preserve the score. The Gunners had a few counter-attacks but the Man Utd defenders played with concentration.

The match gradually came to an end in the disappointment of Man Utd fans. The final whistle sounded and Arsenal won 1-0 against Man Utd. Arsenal is temporarily 1 point ahead of Man City and has played 1 more match than their opponent.
