United made Arsenal sweat more than most predicted on Sunday.
Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League as Leandro Trossard’s goal proved enough to inflict further misery on Manchester United.
Arsenal were far from their best at Old Trafford, where makeshift centre-back Casemiro’s slowness to push out and then react to having played Kai Havertz onside led to Trossard’s first-half winner. Lord Sebastian Coe, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer in the stands at Old Trafford Rasmus Hojlund slipped and blasted over after Thomas Partey was dispossessed, before quick feet from Amad Diallo – making his first Premier League start since May 2021 – led to Alejandro Garnacho striking over.
The Germany international was played onside by the cumbersome Casemiro, who was too slow to push up and then poorly positioned as Trossard steered home a cutback from close range. Garnacho wasted a good chance when bending wide from the edge of the box, then at the other end quick Arsenal play ended with Onana getting down to deny captain Martin Odegaard.
