UEFA Champions League: Manchester United 1 - 0 Arsenal


A 1-0 lead is a decent advantage to take into the second leg at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, with John O’Shea, of all people, scoring the only goal last night, but it could have been so much better for United. A single goal seemed a disappointing return for a vibrant display that was epitomised by the tenacity of Darren Fletcher, Anderson, Wayne Rooney and the recalled Carlos Tévez, but Arsenal could claim that they had the game’s outstanding performer in Manuel Almunia.

Ronaldo: Referee cost us bigger win

Richard Jolly:
Almunia keeps Arsenal in contention

Richard Williams:
East to see why Tevez is fan favorite

Matt Dickinson:
Arsenal looked raw, callow and bewildered

Paul Hayward:
Wenger's Euro itch may persist
