“Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-0 to cut the gap to Liverpool at the top of the Premier League to seven points. After a dull first half, the home side pushed to break the deadlock. They eventually did so courtesy of a corner kick in the 54th minute. Jurrien Timber connected with Declan Rice’s corner before flicking the ball into the net with his head. Mikel Arteta’s side then doubled their advantage nearly 20 minutes later. It came courtesy of another corner, with a William Saliba touch diverting the ball past Andre Onana. The result leaves United 11th in the Premier League. …”
