MNU 0-1 ARS: Not Pretty, But Good Enough

 On recent form, Arsenal was expected to blow Man U out of Old Trafford, but that's not how it played out.  We were good enough to win, but just barely.  United had a lot of starters out injured and we were healthy, but our offense never got going with the exception of the goal, which Casemiro made possible by walking forward and allowing Havertz to stay onside.  He then turned Jonny Evans inside out and made a great pass to Trossard, who made an excellent run into the box for the finish.  All in all, not a good game, from all accounts.

So it'll go to the last day, whatever happens at the Toilet Bowl between City and Spuds.  Recent results have shaved our goal difference advantage to just three, so City could retain the title after a draw at Spuds if they beat West Ham by three goals more than we beat Everton.  It could happen, you know, and what a finish that would be, with both teams trying as hard as they can to run up the score.
