Arsenal was better than Manchester United in the direct duel for placement in the Champions League - they won 3:1, took a big step towards the European elite, and at the same time practically wrote off the "red devils".
"This was a crucial match for us, just two and a half days after the victory over Chelsea. We knew how important it was to win three points and we went out on the field with that energy," said the manager of the "gunners" Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal led 2:0 with goals from Tavares and Saka, before half-time it was reduced by Ronaldo.

In the continuation, Fernandes missed the penalty for 2:2, and Džak set the final score.
"We didn't have control in the last 15 minutes of the first half and the first 15 minutes of the second. We were lucky in that period," Arteta added.
Ralf Rangnik, on the other hand, is aware that the road to the Champions League is never more difficult.
"We could have scored more goals, but the problem is another - in defense. It's been a pain for us all season. We did enough in attack to get a better result and all this is frustrating. And yes, with the third goal there was an obvious offside, I don't know how nobody saw it," said the German.
