Arsenal 1-3 Manchester United





Manchester United proved once again that the bullets from the Gunners cant stop the fire and fierceness of the Devils. This was a critical match for the both sides as the winners could close in the gap with premier league leaders Chelsea. The first goal came in the 32nd minute when Arsenal's no.1 GK Manuel Almunia inadvertently clawing the cross into his net after Nani used some of his famous tricks trying to pass to South Korean International Ji-Sung Park. Minutes later, Nani helped Wayne Rooney score the 2nd goal beautifully scoring his century of goals in the EPL with his stint at United and childhood love, Everton. By the first half, Arsenal were down 2-0. Remember the last time they were 2-0 down by HT? It was the Bolton match which they won 4-2 but sadly could not translate that to the pitch this time. There was more trouble after the 2nd half when Park Ji-Sung scored inside the penalty box against 4 defenders. Thomas Vermaelen made sure Arsenal at least got a consolation prize with a goal at the 78th minute which took a deflection out of Jonny Evans. Manchester United now stand strong and proud and are proving to the world that United are still in the title race.
