Premier League

Result: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal

Date: 12 May 2024

Venue: Old Trafford

While Arsenal were unchanged for the fourth game in a row, United recalled Scott McTominay, Amad Diallo and Sofyan Amrabat following the big loss to Crystal Palace.

The Red Devils made an assured start and did well to stifle the away side in the early stages while looking to catch their counter-parts on the counter.

The Gunners got the breakthrough on 20 minutes when Kai Havertz got the byline before pulling the ball back for Leandro Trossard to slot home. 

Ten Hag's men, meanwhile, struggled to carve out any clear-cut openings in the first half as Gunners goalkeeper David Raya did not have a single save to make.

The hosts were more lively in the second period, as Alejandro Garnacho had a couple sights at goal in the opening 15 minutes but the Argentine was unable to find the target.

Garnacho was at it again with 15 minutes to play after latching on to a pass from McTominay, but the Argentine forward saw his left-footed strike crash into the side-netting.

The Gunners were dealt a blow five minutes later as talisman Bukayo Saka was forced off with an injury after a hard fall and replaced by Gabriel Jesus for the closing stages.

Nevertheless, the visitors were able to see out the closing stages of the second half to clinch three points and move top of the Premier League table.
