The English Premier League title race will go to the last day of the season after Arsenal returned to the top of the standings with a 1-0 win at Manchester United today.
Leandro Trossard struck in the 20th minute at Old Trafford to ensure Arsenal will take defending champion Manchester City to the final round of games next Monday NZT.
Anything other than a win against United for Mikel Arteta’s team could have seen City clinch the title with victory at Tottenham on Wednesday. Arsenal duly delivered and moved one point ahead of their title rival in second place.
Defeat for United was a latest blow for under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag, whose team lost for the 14th time in the league this season and extended a damaging run that has seen them win just one of their last eight games.
Arsenal benefited from slack defending from United when makeshift center back Casemiro was slow to push up and played Kai Havertz onside. The Germany forward took advantage and drove into the box before crossing for Trossard to convert from close range.
