Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal Recap
Man Utd edged Arsenal to remain unbeaten on the 2010-11 EPL season.
The lone goal was a header from Ji-Sung Park in the 41st minute. The goal happened when a Nani cross was deflected by a defender and Park would then head it off the post. The score would remain at 1-0 until the final whistle.
Overall, Arsenal lacked quality in the final third and never created many great chances. They are not out of the title race with the loss but continue to struggle against the top teams.
Man U did have a chance to extend their lead in the 74th minute but Wayne Rooney missed a penalty kick. It was a poor shot by Rooney who is a shadow of the form he showed during last season.
