Arsenal's victory was a testament to their resilience and determination to keep the pressure on City. The Gunners will face Everton in their final game of the season, while City will take on West Ham at home.

While City still holds the fate of the title in their hands, they will need to win their remaining two games to secure a record fourth consecutive English league title. Arsenal, on the other hand, is aiming to be crowned champions for the first time since 2004 when they famously went unbeaten throughout the entire league campaign.

Arsenal's early lead through Trossard's goal proved to be decisive, as they managed to contain United's attacks and create some chances of their own. Substitute Gabriel Martinelli came close to doubling Arsenal's lead in the second half, forcing United's goalkeeper to make some crucial saves.

As the Premier League title race heats up, all eyes will be on the final round of games to see if Arsenal can dethrone City and clinch the coveted trophy.
