‘Live the final day’: Mikel Arteta dreams of title after win at United sets up climax
Arsenal opened ‘box of dreams’ following 1-0 win at Old TraffordGunners point clear of Manchester City but played game more
Mikel Arteta praised his Arsenal players for “opening the box of dreams” after victory over Manchester United ensured they will fight for the title on the final day of the season. He also insisted that their fiercest rivals, Tottenham, can force a result against Manchester City on Tuesday to help their challenge.
Leandro Trossard’s 20th-minute goal took Arsenal top on 86 points, one ahead of City. If Ange Postecoglou’s team manage a draw against the champions, Arsenal’s superior goal difference of three would give them the edge going into the last day. Whatever occurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Arteta’s side will still be in contention on Sunday when City host West Ham and Arsenal are at home to Everton.
