Arsenal defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford, virtually ending the Reds’ chances of qualifying for the Europa League with a league finish.
It just needed a goal from Leandro Trossard in the 20th minute of play to guarantee United’s defeat and cause additional suffering for Erik ten Hag and his team.
United possessed the ball more than Arsenal (45%), with a 55% possession rate.
Out of their 14 attempts at goal, the Red Devils only managed two shots that found the goal. Conversely, the Gunners had a total of 11 shots, five of which needed Andre Onana to make a move.
Ten Hag’s team completed 86% of the 513 passes they attempted. Arsenal, meanwhile, completed 430 passes with an 83% completion percentage.
I thought Amad Diallo was one of United’s better performers. The forward was an unexpected addition to Ten Hag’s starting lineup, as many had predicted Antony or Marcus Rashford, who had just returned, to start.
Amad successfully won both of the tackles he made while he was on the field.
With both of the long balls he pinged, the Ivorian also found his targeted target. With 23 of his 25 passes completed, the winger had an individual ass accuracy of 92%.
Out of 13 ground duels, he emerged victorious in six of them.
Out of all the players on the field, Amad completed the most dribbles with three out of five attempts. He also made two opportunities.
Unfortunately, Amad had to leave the game in the 68th minute due to an injury.
He nevertheless persuaded Ten Hag that coming forward, he ought to have a great deal more playing time—at the very least, more than someone like Antony.
