An interesting match of soccer was played between Manchester United and Arsenal on November 10th, 2013. This proved to be a very important match for Man City as it is considered their biggest win of the season. Gunners were defeated by zero goals to one. Manchester united kept their hold on the pitch since the very start but the game did not have any pace until the 27th minute. That was when Van Persie scored a brilliant goal against Arsenal. Arsenal tried to redeem in the 33rd minute but missed their chance. Szczesny needed little treatment after his head clash with Jones. Flamini also got a yellow card because of the foul that he played with Phil Jones. The first half ended without receiving any spectacular performances from either side.

In the second half, Vidic of Man City got injured after crashing with David De Gea and unfortunately, he did not come back in the game. Arsenal performed with a little improvement. They got better chances at goal too but it was not their day. Ozil, Ramsey and Vermaelen played notably well. Man City almost had a second goal but Rooney was out of luck. In the last quarter, match got more heated as people were literally hooked to the screens and sites for the live scoresSmalling missed the free kick and centre back stopped Giroud at excellent timing. The match ended with 1-0, proving to be a very lucky one for the Red Devils.
