The Gunners’ Clinical Edge Overcomes Red Devils’ Grit

The victory puts the Gunners in prime position to claim the Premier League title, setting up a thrilling final-day showdown.
Trossard’s Masterclass
The Belgian winger proved to be a constant menace for United’s defense, culminating in a moment of brilliance in the 66th minute. Trossard received the ball on the left flank, shimmied past Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and unleashed a curling effort that nestled into the far corner. The goal drew comparisons to Ljungberg’s iconic strike against Tottenham in 2002.

United’s Resilience
Man United showcased their grit and determination, particularly in the second half. They pressed relentlessly, forcing Arsenal to defend deeply. Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes came close to scoring, but the Gunners’ defense stood firm.
Final-Day Title Decider
With the win, Arsenal have moved two points clear of Manchester City, who face Brighton on the final day. The Gunners will know that a victory against Aston Villa will guarantee them the league title, regardless of City’s result.
The Premier League race has reached its climax, and the final day promises to be a nail-biting affair. Arsenal’s destiny is in their own hands, and they will be determined to secure their first league title since 2004.
Conclusion
Arsenal’s victory over Manchester United was a testament to their title credentials. Trossard’s Freddie-esque goal proved to be the difference, showcasing the Gunners’ attacking prowess.
