Arsenal recorded a tight 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford in a game that marked a crucial moment in their Premier League title campaign.
The Gunners headed into the match knowing a victory was compulsory if they were to move back ahead of Manchester City into first place.
Mikel Arteta’s side delivered an uncharacteristically poor performance, but it was still enough to continue their season’s dreams.
United were forced to begin the match on a sour note, with late news that both Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford would not be available against the Gunners. Their absence meant a midfield trio of Sofyan Amrabat, Kobbie Mainoo and Scott McTominay were forced to start.

That team…..we just need to get behind them because it’s actually getting more threadbare by the week. No Bruno or Rashford at all. Bench full of kids. If people don’t realise this is just about supporting the team then they’re truly lost

No Bruno, no Rashford, we’re really about to concede 5 to Arsenal today pic.twitter.com/gRXY5ZkLhM

No defence, no Rashford, no Bruno. If we can’t win under these circumstances, when the chips are down, then we don’t deserve to be in title races.

Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford out of the game. Are they still saying “Pray for Arsenal?”
