The Premier League derby, one of the most prominent rivalries in English football, concluded without a victor, as Manchester United and Arsenal played to a 1-1 stalemate at Old Trafford this evening.
Liverpool will be the most satisfied with this outcome, as they now sit at 15 points with a match in hand over Arsenal.
A thrilling derby unfolded at the “Theater of Dreams,” with numerous chances created, though Merino squandered the first opportunity in the 10th minute.
Just before halftime, the home side found the net, with Bruno Fernandes scoring a beautiful free-kick.
The second half began with a chance for Odegaard, but Onana made the save, and shortly after, Zirkze and Mazraui failed to convert at the other end.
The match ended with plenty of tension. Onana denied Martinelli before Hojlund missed a goal-scoring opportunity, followed by Fernandes also being inaccurate in the closing moments.
