5 talking points as Arsenal claim vital win vs Man Utd to keep title hopes alive

The Premier League title race will go down to the final day after Arsenal earned a hard-fought 1-0 win at Manchester United.

After a bright first 15 minutes for hosts, Arsenal soon began to relax in possession and turn the screw - and they didn't even need to get the drill out of their toolbox to score. Andre Onana played a difficult pass out to the left-hand side of United's attack and the Gunners quickly capitalised while Casemiro was still jogging back to get level with his team-mates.

2. Havertz's career-best return This time last year as their title charge collapsed, who'd have said that Arsenal need a Kai Havertz? Fast forward 12 months and the German has registered 20 goal contributions, his best return since his final season with Bayer Leverkusen before joining Chelsea. Just like on-field referee Paul Tierney, the VAR team quickly dismissed the appeal but Gary Neville was skeptical on Sky Sports commentary. At half-time, pundit Keane said: "He's the wrong side there. He's a lucky boy. I don't think it was a penalty."

4. Toothless United You'd think after a full hour of play without a shot on target that United were being dominated by Arsenal - yet it was anything but. The Red Devils had chance after chance to test David Raya, who finally had a save to make in the 68th minute from a rather speculative sighter from Casemiro.
