No sir, Arsenal team wasn't just lucky I think they played more better than Manchester United because they came for 3 points and they got it easily not wanting to push more attack in the second half so they don't end up fighting to get another goal if Manchester United levels the score to a 1:1 they decided to defend the 1 goal they managed to score and allowed Manchester United dominate in the second half but never allowed them to penetrate much in their box so they don't commit a penalty. Manchester United played at home sure they won't let their fans to continue to feel disappointed because of their poor performance and after facing a disappointing result against Crystal Palace in their previous game they ought to show a sign of remorse by winning the game today but we all saw how weak the defense was as they conceded a cheap goal once again today but kudos to the gunners they are the better side and they needed the result to keep their title hope alive even as they hope to see Manchester City dropping points so they can win the last game and be crowned the league champions this season.

I once thought Manchester United will be the biggest threat to Arsenal, but guessed wrong, they hardly defeat small teams and same with the big teams, I don't see any improvement as most teams are beginning to get better during the end of the season but the United are getting worst. I wonder what they have left in their remaining matches, will it take them up the table because for what I know Chelsea is not willing to give up their position.Talking about Erik ten Hag being sacked or not, the team should do whatever they think Is best for them, they might end up sacking him and get a better result from the successor or the worst, they are to face the repercussions of their decision but personally I would want them to keep him for one more season, he might be incredible this time.

Manchester United's next two matches are playing against Newcastle and Brighton and clearly, in these conditions it does not seem easy for Manchester United to be able to finish in the top six. Because of course, Chelsea and Newcastle will also make their best efforts to be able to finish in sixth position, at least to get a ticket to play in the Conference League next season. Previously I was still quite sure Manchester United might succeed in finishing in the top six, because Manchester United also had an increase in performance. But when approaching the end season like this, Manchester United actually lost the competition and it was Newcastle and Chelsea who managed to overtake Manchester United's position, and that was quite unexpected.

Arsenal extended the competition with 3 points in today's match because with the 3 points they got they are back at the top of the table with Manchester City still leaving 1 match back at this time.
This season is really very interesting and this is what is expected from the EPL because how to compete with each other in the last chance is indeed a very good thing which is very worthy of interest.

My hope now is that Manchester City draw because with that the last match and goal productivity becomes the most important as determining the champion and I think this scheme will be more painful in the end but indeed we have to wait for how Manchester City face Tottenham later especially with Tottenham's situation in the last few matches they are always inconvenienced and not optimal then indeed the situation is still favorable for Manchester City at this time.

Well, regardless of the fact that Manchester united played well today, they still lost to Arsenal which I think is what alot of people expected to happen, it's a very narrow win for Arsenal I must say, since I personally expected them to score more goals, but it seemed like Manchester united were well prepared for the game and can't give Arsenal any chance again after Arsenal managed to score their first and only goal on the first half of the game.

Arsenal also played a very good game, most especially in their defense line, making sure that Manchester united does not get any chance of equalizing the goal.
Overall, I congratulate Arsenal, as they continue to proof their strength, and their worthiness for the premier league title this season, but unfortunately, Manchester city is still a very strong stumbling block for them, if only Manchester city will lose or draw any of their remaining two games, but unfortunately again, that may never happen, as Manchester city seems highly determined to win the title again this season, so, I guess Arsenal will be happy taking the second position.

What we expected from Manchester United from the start is no longer there and with the existing player options they will definitely lose against Arsenal. But this defeat was not an embarrassing one like the one that happened last week when Crystal Palace beat the Red Devils by 4 goals.

At least this narrow defeat to Arsenal is still better, but on the other hand, Manchester United will sink further if they continue not to produce points. This season has not been good for Manchester United and I don't know what they are planning for next season and if they are still with the same squad then it is possible that the results will not be much different. I think everything must change and improve this proud Manchester team which is full of history.

The match actually ended in the favour of Arsenal and for the second time Arsenal has been able to get victory at old Trafford, this is actually uncommon with Arsenal as they most get to draw or probably get to loose to Manchester united but Todd they have recorded history for the second time in the history of their meetings at the old Trafford and for Arsenal it's means a whole lot especially for the title race.

Arsenal is now back at the top of the table with a point difference away from Manchester city who actually topped the league much earlier this weekend and it's looking like they couldn't stay at the top long enough for 24hr before Arsenal came back displacing them,r hey have been able to close the goal gap from Arsenal what they have left is the point gap after which they can comfortably sit at the top of the table and probably be declared the winners of the title this season. Arsenal a d Manchester city continually try to make sure to maintain the title race without any form of giving up.

Manchester united continue with their loosing streak and been worse at their productivity, even if their performance was quite brilliant, they were actually still not impressive with their results as I expected even much more from them because they are seen as a top team and they had a record to protect but then sadly the form Manchester united currently has is such that if they eventually had started off like this they would have been at the relegation play off, again I say that ten hag should leave Manchester united.

Mikel Arteta was tactical all through the game. Erik Ten Hag should be sack? What are your thoughts on this trend? Manchester United is no longer consider to be threat to elite teams, they keep losing points against average and elite opponents and they're now ranked 8th position on the table which is not a good result for them. Arsenal dominated the game but failed to net more goals than expected. Coming to Old Trafford to face the Red Devils and won them but it was not with ease efforts, they struggle to maintain their lead.

Manchester City can win the title only if they win two consecutive games in the remaining season. The match against Tottenham is very tough and difficult for them, but Manchester City can be the favorite to win considering they really don't want to let Arsenal win the title this season.

The best thing this season is that Arsenal can compete until the end of the season with Manchester City. Arsenal increased its chances of winning the title after beating Manchester United 0-1 today at Old Trafford, but Arsenal's chances of winning the title depend heavily on Manchester City in the next two games. I know it is difficult for Arsenal to hope to win the title, but they can hope that Tottenham thwarts Manchester City's consistency in the next match.

It was a luck due to mistake and that was when Arteta roll advantage of their goal. If you watch out  in the first half Arsenal was still attacking. It was in the second half that the players used that tactics, so I will call it an opportunity and not a plan from onset.

The fact is that United missed players like Bruno, assuming he was presence, that game strategy would not have worked because he would have made one or two pass or shots. However, every strategy is allowed as long as you win the game. Arsenal was able to win their match again to be on track in the title race.

Aston Villa is the team that is giving Arsenal difficulties in the competition for the title this season. In any case, Arsenal must provide support to Tottenham to beat Manchester City. Even though Tottenham and Arsenal are from North London, in terms of results they are professional.
There is a possibility that Arsenal fans' hopes could come true if they reflect on Tottenham's chances of playing in the Champions League next season. The condition is that Spurs must be able to win 2 more matches including the match against Manchester City before facing Sheff United.

The Tottenham vs Manchester City match will be the most decisive betting match. I probably wouldn't bet on either of them winning. Chances are I will bet on both teams to score.
The victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford was very profitable for Arsenal. In fact, for Manchester United, this defeat meant they had to settle for being below Chelsea.

Winning this match was not easy for Arsenal at all. Arsenal is a strong team. But it was Manchester United's home match. Although United's performances have been erratic, the team at home is not weak. So it was difficult for Arsenal to win. Moreover, Manchester United performed very well in this match. Although the overall performance of Manchester United was good, the players of United's attack part failed to break Arsenal's defense.

Arsenal were tactical in this match. Arsenal will definitely need to win all their matches if they want to continue to challenge for the title. This is why Arsenal played a defensive strategy after scoring in the first half. Arsenal players did not attack much. And Arsenal succeeded. Arsenal won a narrow 1-0.

The team with a better focus won the game. Arsenal understood that this game was a high profile game and they played according to their game plan, which was to score the first goal and then allow Manchester United do all the play they want to play, provided they are kept at bay and not able to score a goal, that's what Arsenal did that's why it looked as if Manchester United did more of the playing. Arteta outsmarted Eric Ten Hag and he got a vital win from old Trafford. I'm pleased with the way Arsenal kept their composure and it paid off at the end of the day. What's unfortunate here is that Arsenal didn't score enough goals here to boost their goal difference against Manchester City, now the goals difference has now been reduced to 3. The way the league is going, it might get to the point where goals will determine who will win the league.

Do more than this, by not finding their feet late in the Premier League matches standings early than late. Crystal Palace started late to win their matches as we all can see. The big winnings of Crystal Palace happened when the right coach for the team took over and by then the season had gone more than half with the number of matches played. However, the season will end soon, next season will be another time for Crystal Palace to prove how good they can be by next season whether they are capable of going higher than they are this season(12th spot) or falling lower. The decision is theirs to make, to aim for the top spot or fall lower.

In the end, Arsenal biggest worry this week was resolved well, Arteta squad managed to steal points at Old Trafford, as well as bringing them back to the top of the Premier League standings. It's true, the battle for this season trophy must be determined until the end of the season, and we know that Man City is in control. Meanwhile for Man United, this defeat has made Ten Hag career even more questionable, whether management will continue to keep him or kick him out next season. In total, Man United has suffered 14 defeats this season, it is possible that in the last week they will also lose to Brighton.

Meanwhile, Man City will be under a bit of pressure at the moment, because Arsenal has taken over the top of the standings again and they have to face a troublesome opponent, namely Tottenham. Even though on paper Pep Guardiola squad is the favourite, they still have to be fully alert to the surprises that Tottenham can provide, because apart from that, Tottenham will act as hosts. On the other hand, it is certain that Man United will miss European competition next season, this is the most serious setback that management must immediately correct.

Arsenal have their strong defensive ability to thank, because Manchester United really put pressure on them. Garnacho was excellent but lacked the finishing although he was very well positioned most of the time. Another bad result for Manchester United, and to Arsenal a big win to set history right of not winning in the Old Trafford. Arsenal take the battle for the title into their final week, If Manchester City loose to Tottenham in their next game, Arsenal possess the mentality to win the title on the final day against Everton.

I am disappointed with the performance of Tottenham as they were the strong candidate for the top four, but last four defeats bring them down and their moral is also badly down which need to be fixed before next season as they are having ability to fight at the top level but as they chock this was embarrassing but still good thing now they are having good chance of staying into Europa League.

Their win against Burnley with the score of 2 -1 is also not ideal as I was expecting some good number of goals against relegated side, but they were not aggressive as they needed to be for this game on papers they are still having chance of going into top four, but next few games are going to be crucial for this which needs to be had positive results for them, but it's challenging.

Arteta strategy was just make sure you score the first goal and then keep pushing harder if there will be more opportunities to score more and that was it, they had the first goal and because it was home match, they expected Manchester United to come hard for them but it seems this Erik Ten boys are tired of the league already, they don't feel motivated any longer. I saw Anthony face the other time like the guy was coming to finish the match for Manchester United in the 70 minutes but nothing good came out, flopped players.

The dream of Arsenal now lies between the outcome of Manchester City and Tottenham, Kai Havertz and the rest want to support Tottenham and I hope the dream comes through otherwise, all the struggle Arsenal has did in the last 6 matches will be for nothing, they had the chance to beat Aston Villa but they lost and that's where the lose the bet in this run but finger cross to that outcome.

Arsenal was lucky today, Manchester United was the better side in the match but disappointingly they lost. If United had a managed to score the first goal, the result would have been different. It’s not easy to fight to the end, I have to give Arsenal that but Manchester City are going to win the league.  

It clearly depends what indicator those conclusions are based on. As you perfectly said, Manchester United had a little bit more ball possession, a few more shots, but obviously they managed to have 2 shots on target in 90+ minutes. If the shots on target count is that low, it is the best proof you can have that Arsenal was essentially in control. They scored their early goal and then understood what to do and yet created more dangerous chances. It is not a miracle that Manchester had more ball possession, but they lack the quality to break through Arsenal's defense. Job done, that was what Arsenal was after.
