Arsenal contributed to the demise of Manchester United

English – Sunday Night WIB, May 13, 2024, Arsenal took three points at Old Trafford, home of Manchester United, in a Premier League match. Mikel Arteta’s team won 1-0.

Arsenal’s winning goal was scored by Leandro Trossard in the 20th minute, after Kai Havets had set up Andre Onana.

Former Arsenal player Paul Merson thinks it’s a good win for Martin Odegaard and co. Because throughout the game the home team showed extraordinary pressure.

“I think it’s about getting over the line for Arsenal. They will never have an easier game than that, they didn’t play well at all,” said Paul Merson. Sky Sports.

Statistics show that “Manchester United” has 55% of the ball possession. But, according to Merson, the team nicknamed the Red Devils was unable to maximize this pressure.

They are often stuck on the front line. Of the 14 attempts against Arsenal, only two were successful.

This data shows that Eric ten Haag’s team frequently makes mistakes when making decisions. Therefore, the expected goal was not achieved.

In fact, if only United managed to score, according to Merson, Arsenal would find it difficult to respond. Because in terms of the game, the Red Devils managed to win.

“I don’t think Arsenal controlled the game. “Man United had complete control of the ball around the box and if they had had the last ball, perhaps if they had decided better, they would have had a chance,” he said. .

“If Man Utd score, it looks like Arsenal won’t score again. It’s a good victory. They did a good job today,” added Merson.
