Nice Win, but it's all too late

Arsenal hit Manchester United 1-0 by Aaron Ramsey's goal.

It was probably Arsenal's best performance since they beat Barcelona 2-1. Even without Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal was dominating the game, defending well, even in the final 20 minutes they were always under pressure. They controlled the game well, giving constant pressure and created several good chances, even they failed to scored on the first half. It was just about time before they could score. They should've got a penalty when Nemanja Vidic handballed Walcott's cross, but the referee only gave Arsenal a corner kick.

Aaron Ramsey scored his first goal since his comeback, and proved his quality. His composure, placing the ball to the far post, showing his maturity. Arsenal continued their pressure and almost added some goals, but they didn't. Last 20 minutes, it was Arsenal's defence to be tested. Szczesny put couples of good saves, while Koscielny, Djourou, and Squillaci shows their strength on defence.

Arsenal reduced their gap with Manchester United, now 3 points from Chelsea and 6 points away from the top of the table, but with only 3 games remaining, it's only a miracle which could make Arsenal lift the EPL trophy this season
