The Premier League title race is set to go down to the wire after Arsenal secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The win propels Arsenal back to the top of the standings, setting up a thrilling final day showdown with defending champions Manchester City.
Arsenal's Leandro Trossard found the back of the net in the 20th minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from United to give his team the lead. The victory means that Arsenal now sits one point ahead of City in second place, ensuring that the title race will be decided in the last round of games next Sunday.
For Manchester United, the defeat marks another setback in what has been a challenging season. The loss to Arsenal was their 14th in the league this season, further extending a poor run of form that has seen them win just one of their last eight games in the Premier League.
Arsenal's victory was a testament to their resilience and determination to keep the pressure on City. The Gunners will face Everton in their final game of the season, while City will take on West Ham at home.
While City still holds the fate of the title in their hands, they will need to win their remaining two games to secure a record fourth consecutive English league title. Arsenal, on the other hand, is aiming to be crowned champions for the first time since 2004 when they famously went unbeaten throughout the entire league campaign.
The match at Old Trafford was a significant test for Arsenal, given their poor record at the venue in recent years. However, they overcame the odds and capitalized on United's defensive vulnerabilities to secure a vital victory.
Arsenal's early lead through Trossard's goal proved to be decisive, as they managed to contain United's attacks and create some chances of their own. Substitute Gabriel Martinelli came close to doubling Arsenal's lead in the second half, forcing United's goalkeeper to make some crucial saves.
As the Premier League title race heats up, all eyes will be on the final round of games to see if Arsenal can dethrone City and clinch the coveted trophy.
