This victory marks a historic milestone, surpassing the Invincibles’ record of 26 wins, as Arsenal achieved their highest ever tally of 27 wins in a Premier League season. Additionally, Arteta’s men have now completed a league double over Manchester United for the first time in seventeen years.
How it unfolded

Their persistence bore fruit when Trossard capitalized on a Kai Havertz cut-back, slotting the ball home to break the deadlock and put the Gunners in the lead in the 20th minute.
Ultimately, Trossard’s goal proved to be the decisive strike for Arsenal, securing the crucial three points. This result ensures that the Premier League title race will once again come down to the wire.
