Breaking: Arsenal, Manchester United share Premier League spoils as gunners overtake Chelsea

Two Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United on Saturday pick one point each after a pulsating clash at the Emirates stadium.

Fred was denied by Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno’s fine save while Edinson Cavani went close in the closing stages for the visitors.

But Arsenal arguably carved out the better chances, Alexandre Lacazette going closest for the hosts when he hit the bar from a free-kick.

The under-strength Gunners – without the injured Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kieran Tierney and Bukayo Saka – finished with new loan signing Martin Odegaard on the pitch but could not find a breakthrough.

United, who lost midfielder Scott McTominay in the first half to a stomach illness, remain second in the table but are now three points behind leaders Manchester City, who have a game in hand over their rivals.

United remain unbeaten in the league away from home while Arsenal extended their unbeaten run to seven top-flight games and have earned five clean sheets in the last six league matches.
