Arsenal beat Man Utd to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League.

(VTC News) - A 1-0 victory against Man Utd in round 37 helped Arsenal reclaim the top spot in the English Premier League after round 37.

Manchester United hosted Arsenal in the late match of the 37th round of the Premier League. With little left to play for, the Red Devils still showed determination, at least to prevent Arsenal from winning the championship. In the first 15 minutes, Man Utd played well and had 67% possession. But when the game seemed to be going their way, Man Utd unexpectedly conceded a goal.

In the 21st minute, receiving a pass from a teammate, Kai Havertz broke through and delivered a cross for Leandro Trossard to tap in from close range, opening the scoring. This was a situation where Casemiro made a positional error, allowing the Arsenal player to successfully break the offside trap. Unexpectedly conceding, Man Utd lost control of the game to their opponents.

For the remainder of the first half, both Man Utd and Arsenal repeatedly made mistakes in their passing game. Man Utd's play revolved around Kobbie Mainoo, but the midfielder lacked the sharpness to create opportunities for his teammates. Without Bruno Fernandes, the home team appeared ineffective in crucial moments near Arsenal's penalty area. The first 45 minutes passed without a goal being scored.

In the second half, Man Utd showed no improvement in their ball distribution. They were even outplayed by Arsenal. On the sidelines, manager Erik ten Hag looked worried, but he had no viable personnel options. It wasn't until Amad Diallo suffered an injury that Antony was brought on. However, the Brazilian midfielder's contribution was mainly through enthusiasm rather than quality play.

Towards the end of the match, Arsenal dropped deep into their own half to protect their lead. The Gunners had a few counter-attacks, but the Manchester United defenders were alert and focused.

The match drew to a close, much to the disappointment of the Manchester United fans. The final whistle blew, and Arsenal secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester United. Arsenal are now one point ahead of Manchester City, having played one more game than their rivals.
