"Arsenal defeats Manchester United, keeping title race alive until the final day."
"United manager Erik ten Hag expressed frustration, shaking his head in dismay.
"Our sole objective is to clinch the league title," remarked Trossard to Sky. "Today, we've fulfilled our duty, setting the stage for a decisive final match, which is our aim."
The match witnessed a flurry of action in the dying minutes, with Onana making crucial saves from shots by Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli and Declan Rice.
United, seeking redemption after a dismal 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, sit in eighth place with two games remaining. They trail sixth-placed Newcastle by three points in the race for a European spot, with a crucial showdown against the Magpies looming at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Ten Hag emphasized the importance of securing European qualification, stating, "Missing out would be very detrimental. Despite our current position, there's still a chance, and we must seize it."
Trossard's goal marked the 82nd conceded by Ten Hag's side this season across all competitions, their highest tally in a single campaign since 1970-71.
While United dominated possession in the final third and had 14 shots compared to Arsenal's 11, they struggled to carve out clear-cut opportunities.
Alejandro Garnacho posed a threat for United, particularly in the second half, but couldn't find the net, epitomizing his frustration with missed chances.
The traveling fans, whose chants resonated throughout the match, erupted in jubilation at the final whistle, celebrating a hard-fought victory for Mikel Arteta's side.
"We needed a positive result today in a daunting environment," Arteta remarked. "Given the circumstances, we're pleased with the outcome."
Arsenal secured their 18th clean sheet in the league this season, with Sunday's win marking their 27th in the league—a feat only surpassed in the 1970-71 (29 wins) and 1930-31 (28 wins) seasons.
United's tally of 19 losses in all competitions this season is their highest since 1978-79.
In their final fixture, Arsenal will host Everton, while City will face West Ham at home."
