EPL: Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United, Wenger recorded his first ever competitive win over Jose Mourinho
-O.S David
Arsene Wenger recorded his first ever competitive win over Jose Mourinho as Arsenal revived their hopes of a top-four finish with goals from Granit Xhaka and Danny Welbeck
Goals from Granit Xhaka and Danny Welbeck are enough for Arsenal to record their first ever competitive win over a Jose Mourinho side.
More importantly, they’re still in with a chance of finishing in the top four with four matches left. They’re still sixth, but they’re seven points behind Liverpool, six behind Manchester City and two behind Manchester United.
It’s not over yet and Arsenal can ramp up the pressure by beating Southampton on Wednesday night.
As for United, their unbeaten run in the league, stretching back to October, is over and more than ever it seems their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League rest on winning the Europa League.
Their workload’s caught up with them here. In fairness to Mourinho, however, the focus is on this Thursday’s second leg against Celta Vigo. They’ll take losing this one as long as they’re in Stockholm on 24 May.
