Manchester United and Arsenal play out an entertaining 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners were 16 points behind league leaders Liverpool ahead of kick-off, and their point means Liverpool’s advantage is a เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา whopping 15 with just ten games of the season remaining. Their already -slim title hopes have faded drastically over the past couple of weeks.

United’s point sees them return to 14th, and Ruben Amorim will doubtlessly be encouraged. What he saw from his depleted group of players in the second half. They were unfortunate not to claim all three points at the Theatre of Dreams.

How the game unfolded

Mikel Arteta made just one change from Tuesday’s record-breaking beatdown of PSV Eindhoven. With the enterprising Riccardo Calafiori, the scorer of Arsenal’s seventh in midweek, replacing Myles Lewis-Skelly at left-back.

Ruben Amorim had little room for flexibility given United’s injury woes. Manuel Ugarte and Harry Maguire once again missing out. The Portuguese boss had a very young bench at his disposal. That include former Hale Enders Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi-Martin.

The visitors were in control from the outset against a United team bereft of a concrete idea in possession.

They had little success playing out and were often second best when Andre Onana pumped the ball long. Arsenal were dominant but once again lacking a killer punch in the absence of a recognised centre-forward.

Makeshift number nine Mikel Merino went close with a drag effort inside the opening ten minutes, while Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard produced decent efforts from the edge of the box. United were disciplined enough defensively to limit Arsenal’s ability to craft high-quality openings. Although they suffered for much of the opening period, the hosts remarkably took a 1-0 lead into half-time.
