Arsenal vs Manchester United duel at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday (31/1), ended without a winner.
Week 21 in the Premier League starts at a moderate tempo. The two teams played a meeting and pressed immediately when they lost the ball. Both camps played quite carefully.
Alexandre Lacazette became the first player to have a shot on target in the 16th minute.
In the 20th minute, Fred’s hanging ball shot from outside the penalty box was pushed over by Bernd Leno.
Arsenal and Man United had several chances that were wasted due to imperfect finishing.
The chaos in the Arsenal penalty box in the final minutes of the first half was also unable to be resolved by Rashford. Meanwhile, a Fernandes free kick led to a corner.
At the start of the second half, Willian who came on for Martinelli had a chance from inside the penalty box. Wan-Bissaka’s ingenuity keeps Man Utd’s goal still safe.
Similar to Willian, Nicolas Pepe also failed to score the ball in Man Utd’s goal because it was intercepted by the Red Devils defender.
The 58th minute of Man Utd’s one-touch collaboration in the Arsenal penalty box failed to produce a goal. Cavani’s kick was off the mark.
Lacazette has a chance from a free kick in the 65th minute. After being violated by Harry Maguire, the French striker released a free kick. The ball hits the bar.
One minute later it was De Gea’s turn to make a save to stop the ball from Emile Smith Rowe.
Man United responded by showing one-touch passes in the Arsenal penalty box. The Red Devils’ efforts could not produce a goal.
A second half that was fiercer than the first 45 minutes returned to generate opportunities in the 80th minute. Rashford opportunity to scored for Man Utd only culminating in a goal kick.
One minute later, Pepe, who came from the left, almost gave Arsenal the lead if the ball did not go wide to the right of the Man Utd goal.
One minute before normal time ended, Cavani’s volley was still off target.
This result certainly did not make the Red Devils happy – the nickname of Manchester United. Man United are now staying in the runner-up position with 41 points. Their position is also threatened by being overtaken by Leicester City, which is ranked third and two points adrift.
