Arsenal returned to the summit of the English premier league after winning ugly against Manchester United at Old Trafford
Leandro Trossard settled a 20th-minute swoop at the near post after Casemiro fell asleep – not literally of course – in unforgivable fashion to play Kai Havertz onside to win 1-0
Casemiro, a sad and fading shadow of the great player who bestrode Real Madrid’s midfield through their Champions League glories, simply strolled out.
Havertz initially looked well offside until a glance revealed the dawdling veteran playing him on, leaving Trossard the grateful beneficiary.
Manchester City still hold the cards, with the destiny of the title in their own hands.
Arsenal having played an extra game over rivals Manchester city are now a point clear at 87 determinant with City vs Tottenham Spurs match Tuesday night.
