Man United lose ground to City after goalless draw with Arsenal

Manchester United and Arsenal played out to a 0-0 draw in their Premier League encounter at the Emirates on Saturday evening.

Manchester United dominated possession in the first half as they looked to break down a defensively disciplined Arsenal side. Fred forced Bernd Leno into a fine save, while Marcus Rashford threatened throughout, but the Red Devils couldn’t find the opener.

Arsenal, however, started the second half with a lot more intent and vigour as Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire were forced into good blocks to keep David De Gea’s goal safe.

Arsenal went close through Pepe on a couple of occasions, while Alexandre Laccazette hit the cross bar with a delicate free kick. United, on the other hand, mainly threatened through Edison Cavani who sent both of his gilt-edged chances narrowly wide.

In the end, the sides were forced to settle for a point apiece as Man United lost ground to rivals City at the top of the Premier League.
