Arsenal edge past Man United to ensure Premier League title race goes down to wire

Arsenal battled to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Manchester United that has ensured that the Premier League title race will not be decided until the final day of the season.

The pressure was back on Arsenal following Manchester City's 4-0 demolition of Fulham on Saturday that took Pep Guardiola's side two points clear with two games still to play.

And while it was far from the most fluid of Arsenal performances at Old Trafford, they did exactly enough to seal a vital victory and flip the spotlight back on to City, who take on Tottenham Hotspur in North London on Tuesday and then West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium five days later.

The Gunners have one game left, at home to Everton, as the season reaches its finale next Sunday.

The deciding moment against United came 20 minutes into a game in which United had started quite brightly, despite a makeshift centre of defence consisting of Casemiro – once again playing out of his midfield comfort zone due to injuries – and the veteran Jonny Evans.

And it was an error from the Brazilian that would prove costly, coming hot-on-the-heels of his nightmare performance in United's drubbing against Crystal Palace last Monday.

Arsenal defender Ben White sent the ball out wide on the right to Kai Havertz after the German was played onside by Casemiro who was ambling out from the penalty area.

The in-form former Chelsea attacker raced down the flank and his cutback was turned in at the near post by Leandro Trossard. The Belgian has perfected a useful knack of scoring vital goals during the title run-in and this was his 11th of the league season.

27 - Arsenal have won 27 Premier League games this season, their outright most ever in a campaign in the competition, and most in any league
