Man Utd virtually kill off Arsenal's hopes of silverware

It wasn't a pretty sight for Arsenal fans as Man Utd killed Arsenal's chances of silverware after beating them 2-1. Arsenal dominated most of the game, but Man Utd eventually ran away winners.

The first half was full of adrenalin, with the Arsenal midfielders making quick passes with supreme agility to confuse the Man Utd defence. A host of chances were missed by Arsenal, including a very easy Adebayor chance when Hleb set him up one on one with Van Der Sar, which he failed to convert.

As the first half ended 0-0, I knew that I would be in for a thrilling match. And what a finish it was!! It was disappointing, but what a match!!!

Arsenal took a deserved lead in the second half via a suspicious "hand" by Adebayor, who had latched on to an amazing Fabregas free kick.

Cristiano Ronaldo cancelled out Adebayor's first goal from the spot kick after the ball weirdly found its way through Gallas's hand.

And approximately 17 minutes from time, the overrated Owen Hargreaves whacked a wonderful free kick past Lehmann to give the hosts the lead.

It was raining yellow cards for Arsenal as Lehmann, Adebayor, Gallas, Van Persie, Hleb and Hoyte all got yellow cards.

Man Utd dominated towards the end of the match, not allowing Arsenal any chances.

Arsene Wenger admitted in an interview that Arsenal's chance were over and he's looking forward to winning a title next season.

Well, there's always next season!! Hopefully we'll get a really good experienced player into our side!:D
