Arsenal blew away their tittle chances by losing the lead and the match at Old Trafford. Arsenal scored the first goal in quite an unconvincing way, Eboue won a free kick after a mistimed tackle from Brown and Fabregas took it and it was blocked, Van Persie sent a low cross and Van Der Sar misjudged it and allowed Adebayor to head the goal, the appeared to come off of his hand but the goal was given.
But Gunners failed to defend their lead and allowed Man U to crawl back into the game, Gunners gave a penalty just after 4 mins when Gallas conceded a hand ball in the box and his first attempt was not allowed, but he held his nerve and fired the ball into the net. Man U leveled things and were pushing hard for the second one. Red Devils snatched the match by scoring the second goal, Evra won the free kick in the 71st minute and Hargreaves curled the shot in and secured the lead. Arsenal tried to score the equalizer but Van der Sar was rock solid and made some crucial saves.
Arsenal have themselves to blame, they could not hold the lead for 5 mins, Gunners made the same mistake what they did at Anfield. Manchester United fought back after a 2-2 draw last week and won this vital fixture at home. They consolidated their position at the top and only Chelsea can prevent them from being champions. Meanwhile Gunners will have to settle without any silverware for the third successive season.
