Arsenal 15 points behind Liverpool at 9 days from the end, after his draw (1-1) to Old Trafford against Manchester United.
Failing to have won this prestigious poster, Manchester United will have at least had pleasure, except cataclysm, to kill the last hopes of Arsenal title. On Sunday, at the end of the 28th day of the Premier League, the Gunners were hung (1-1) to Old Trafford and accuse a delay of 15 points on Liverpool at 9 days from the end.
Without offering much in the game but by blocking and trying to exploit counters, the Red Devils returned to the locker room with the advantage. It is Bruno Fernandes, on a superbly rolled free kick and deposited at the bottom of the nets of David Raya, not very well placed, who triggered the clamor of Old Trafford (1-0, 45th+2). The Mancuniens, who play nothing other than the preservation of their honor in this end of the championship, could have doubled the bet if Raya had not made two miraculous stops in the second period, first facing Mazraoui with the tip of the foot, then in the stoppages and in two stages on a strike at close range of Bruno Fernandes.
Rice Old Trafford shower
MU could also have torn the victory if Rice had not heroically tackled Hojlund at the end of the game (85th) while the Danish was about to challenge the Spanish goalkeeper. Nevertheless, by dint of retreating and temporarily disinterested in the offensive thing during the second act, Manchester shot himself in the foot. Cornered at the edge of the last quarter of an hour, the players of Ruben Amorim fell for a strike placed without control of Declan Rice, with a backpack, from the entrance to the surface, after a service of Jurrien Timber (1-1, 74th).
It is nevertheless on this kind of performance that I hope to be able to work Amorim to prepare for next season. If he complained of not being able to enjoy as long as his counterpart of the Gunners Mikel Arteta, there is a good chance that the Manchester United Front Office will leave him the leisure to build the team with a little more personal touch next season.
