Arsenal 0-2 Manchester United – Player Ratings

For the first time in his career, Arsene Wenger defeated Jose Mourinho in a Premiership match, while Liverpool once again did an incredibly terrible thing and lost the third place in the standings after they only managed to get one point from the game with Southampton. The Arsenal fans were finally cheering and singing and it is nice for them.

Comparing the match to his own playing days, Neville added: “When I played for Manchester United, Arsenal was always our biggest game of the season – the build-up was electric and I felt as if I was going into battle against our greatest rivals”.

“After that we lost boys who were good alternatives”.

More accustomed to competing for Champions League titles, United are bidding to reach the final of Europe’s second-tier competition for the first time in their history. It’s the first time I leave and they’re happy.

The loss was a devastating blow to Jose Mourinho as his side conceded even more ground as they attempt to sneak into the top four. I liked very, very much the individual performances and I also liked them collectively.

Asked what he thought of Arsenal finally tasting victory against him, Mourinho said: “It’s a big club”. It’s more important than finishing fourth.

Instead, following Thursday’s 1-0 Europa League semi-final first-leg win over Celta Vigo in Spain, their attention is focused on winning Europe’s second-tier tournament, with the associated prize of Champions League qualification.

“This is a phase where we have to win every game, which we know”.

However both teams are still way behind the number four spot on the points table. He did fantastically well to play 60 minutes and the goal is a lucky situation.

“If Mourinho gets the results he wants and they win a couple of trophies this season, I guess some people will be happy, but it is not the kind of football you associate with this club. I think it will be nearly impossible to qualify through the Premier League”, Mourinho said.

“We need to be further up there, it’s something we’re all disappointed about, but to get the victory hopefully will give us a good end to the season”.
