The home team entered the match more actively, but Arsenal took the lead in the 20th minute. Havertz took advantage of the fact that Casemiro forgot himself deep in his own half, took the ball unthreatened and sent Trossard to score with a shot cross.
The Belgian scored his twelfth of the season and improved his scoring record in the Premier League. In the second half, goalkeeper Onana prevented a bigger defeat for United when he made great saves to keep out shots from Martinelli and Rice. The “Red Devils” are in eighth place with two rounds to go, three points behind sixth-placed Newcastle in the European Cup race.
Erik Ten Hag’s men lost their ninth home competitive game of the season, equaling a negative club record. The Gunners claimed their 27th league win of the year, setting a club record in the Premier League.
The historical record from the 1970/71 season is even better by two victories. At the same time, Arsenal kept a clean sheet for the eleventh time. The record is held by Chelsea from the 2008/09 season, when they scored one more clean sheet with Petr Čech in goal.
