Manchester U Beats Arsenal as Tottenham Keeps Pressure on Leicester

Manchester United beat Arsenal yesterday afternoon at the end of a wild game, a victory they mainly owe to young player Marcus Rashford who scored twice and set one up for Ander Herreraleading his team to victory (3-2). A bad result for the Gunners whose last win in Old Trafford dates back to 2006 and remain now 5 points behind Leicester diminishing its chance in the title race.

Marcus Rashford, the 18-year-old who scored twice on his Manchester United debut in the Europa League on Thursday, inflicted the same punishment on Arsenal in the space of three minutes at Old Trafford on Sunday.

United manager Louis van Gaal said: "I've always said it's not a matter of age, it's a matter of quality."

Ozil replied four minutes later, volleying in after David de Gea saved from Welbeck, but Arsenal didn't threaten De Gea in the final 20 minutes.

After Spurs came from behind to beat struggling Swansea City 2-1, the roar that greeted the winning goal by full back Danny Rose was repeated when the White Hart Lane fans learned that bitter rivals Arsenal had lost 3-2 at Manchester United.

The title race is still on and its outcome hardly predictable.
