Arsenal show their ugly side to keep the title race in the balance with victory at Manchester United, writes Phil McNulty.
Mikel Arteta's side were scrappy and well below their fluent best against a desperately poor United but this was three points that meant the world to them.
Havertz initially looked well offside until a glance revealed the dawdling veteran playing him on, leaving Trossard the grateful beneficiary.But if Tottenham can somehow do north London rivals Arsenal a favour against Pep Guardiola's reigning champions on Tuesday then that first Premier League title in 20 years will come within touching distance.City have only won once in six visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
They have asked Manchester City the question. It is one they have answered successfully so often in the past but all Arsenal could do was put it in front of them and, in this context, it was mission accomplished. Arsenal were nervy and unconvincing but they have now won 15 of their past 17 games in the face of the usual sustained Manchester City assault at this stage of the season, banishing the label of "chokers" that was attached to them when they slipped up late last season.
