Chapter 1: What were the key moments in the Arsenal vs Man Utd match?
Goalless at half-time, and then Granit Xhaka took a chance. Big deflection, De Gea beating Arsenal in front, and then just two minutes, nine seconds later, delicious inviting ball from Oxlade-Chamberlain, finished off by Danny Welbeck. He and man of the match, Aaron Ramsey, with Patrick Davison.
Guys, well played. Danny, extra special for you, I guess, but for the team, for Arsenal, what did that mean?
Yeah, it was really important for us to get the victory today and obviously with our position in the table at the moment, we need to be further up there and it's something that we're all disappointed about. but to get the victory and hopefully give us a good end to the season, it's a good start. Aaron, man of the match today, is that formation bringing the best out of you?
Yeah, I felt good in the games that I've been playing in and going into positions, goal-scoring positions as well, so playing that formation gives me a bit more freedom. But no, it's a formation that we're still working on, but it showed today that we can... that we can be effective using it, you know, and we're just delighted for ourselves, for the fans as well.
They deserve that today to go on with a smile on their face.
And Danny, of course, you love Manchester United, but you keep doing it to them.
Yeah, obviously, I grew up there and everything, so it's a special, special place in my life. But once we get on that pitch, it's just business at the end of the day and just try and get the points for the team.

Chapter 2: How did Arsenal's formation impact their performance?
And thankfully, we did that today.
And couldn't resist a little smile and a celebration at the end of the goal.
Yeah, when you score you've got to be happy, haven't you? So, yeah, it's only normal.
Aaron, very good day in terms of the top four. Is it still on for Arsenal, Champions League football?
I said a few weeks ago that we have to win every game, and we didn't do that against Tottenham, so let's just build on this now and finish the season off strongly, hopefully win them all, and go and see where that takes us, but hopefully we can get that confidence to take it into the final.
Like I say, you're the Premier League man of the match, Danny, careful mate, they're heavy.
Cheers, mate.
Thank you very much.
I'm going to have to say that if they didn't score that goal, I don't know if they would have scored like that. But then when they scored that goal, it looked like everybody wanted to be on the ball, everybody was a bit more composed, and they were a bit better at it. But I know you wanted to talk about this one, Graham, so I'm going to leave it to you.

Chapter 3: What does Aaron Ramsey say about the importance of the victory?
Go to the ball, son. A midfield player defending the edge of his box. To defend properly, you get out and confront the ball and put pressure on the ball. Watch, Martial's the one who ends up chasing this. He's nearest the thrower. He ends up chasing him down. What is Herrera doing? It's not as if he's got Arsenal bodies round him. Then he commits the sin by completely turning his back on it.
Oh, I'm scared to take a blow for the cause. And that's what's costing the first goal. Herrera at fault. Get out, away from the centre-half, put the ball under pressure. That's what central midfield players have to do when the ball's round your area. Get to the ball, stop them getting their head up and stop them having shots.
Chapter 4: What were the criticisms of Manchester United's tactics?
But the game had been drifting into that second half.
Yeah, I think you described it as putrid.
Yeah, that's what it was.
So should we credit Xhaka with actually just taking a bit of a chance?
Yeah, and Thierry talks about it a lot with Arsenal. Just have a shot from distance. Anything can happen. Deflection, we see it so often. And once they scored that first goal, United had no answer, really. They didn't really change their tactics. But the second goal was a piece of quality, and it divened up the game exactly what they needed.
And it was reminiscent of a goal you scored a few years ago, big man. Long time ago, yes, I put that ball on my head.
But I think that Marcel has to do a bit more here. Loses the ball and then what was difficult for Smalling is that he didn't see or saw him late.

Chapter 5: How did luck play a role in the match's outcome?
But what a header and what a cross from Oxlade-Chamberlain, sorry. But he saw him there. Just a bit. When he looks at him, but the pace of the ball already beat him. Too late. What a header. And go on and celebrate that goal, big man. It looks easy, but is it actually quite tough when it's coming at that pace, Thierry?
Now, what it does is the pace of the ball of Oxlade-Chamberlain there helps you a lot because you just have to direct it on goal and it should be a goal. And that is it. What a header. What a cross also.
Yeah, it's an absolutely beautiful cross as well from Oxlade-Chamberlain. This is the other one. Talk us through this, Thierry.
Chapter 6: What insights did Thierry Henry provide on the match's goals?
Well, Emmanuel Eboué had that in his locker, to be fair. He could put the ball wherever he wanted. And a rare goal from me. Put it in the back of the net at the end of the game. We were losing 1-0 seven minutes ago and we won it 2-1. But you have to give credit to Eboué there for putting that ball on my head. Brilliant header as well.
One of many headers you scored in your career for us. Aye.
I wasn't in around 200 goals, so I think I could dance a bit.
Lovely moves from Thierry. Jose Mourinho now with Patrick Davison.
Jose, disappointing of course.
What do you put the defeat down to? Disappointing?

Chapter 7: What did Jose Mourinho say about his team's performance?
The result, not the performance at all. I like very, very much individual performances. and I also like collectively. We lost because we didn't score and we had great chances to score before them. They had the lucky of that goal. We didn't score before them. Just that a part of that I cannot demand more from players that don't play one minute of football in the past seven weeks.
I think Jones, Smalling, Mata, they were amazing the way they performed after seven weeks of being out. The kid, the same. The kid, the same. I think he did an amazing job and I think Alexis knows his name because the kid really played very well. and other players trying to do everything.
Difficult for me to manage the game because in the end the players that I want to replace are the players that in principle start the game on Thursday so difficult to manage it but I think the team was good, was organised, tried to win, played to win, defended well and Arsenal was not better than us in my opinion. They scored, they won, congratulations.
Chapter 8: What does Arsene Wenger think about the win and its implications for the future?
So do you, even before the game, know that it's going to be extremely tough with the injuries, with the eight changes, with the game in Spain on Thursday?
I fear that they couldn't play for 90 minutes. And I fear that my changes, instead of being to change Herrera, Mkhitaryan, players that played 90 minutes in Vigo, I fear that I had to change Players like Matt Jones and Smalling, they were fantastic. I think this game is a blessing for them. To play 90 minutes is fantastic because now we have three Premier League matches plus the semi-final.
Let's hope one more game to play. We need everybody and these 90 minutes are fantastic for them and it's good for the team. We have such a small squad in this moment. It's so good that these guys have a fantastic answer.
Was there anything today that disappointed you? I know you mentioned luck for the first goal, but Herrera, who's been fantastic for you this season, does he have to do more, turns his back before the strike?
Look, Herrera played every game. Herrera is one of the guys that, like Damian and Mkhitaryan, they had to play today because I... I want to be fair with Smalling, Rooney, Carrick, these people. I cannot put the team in this match with four or five kids in the lining-up. Herrera did fantastically well to play in 60 minutes and the goal is a lucky situation.
We had much better opportunities to score and we couldn't score and I think the game was totally under control. I think more under control than against Man City. I think much more under control. We were much more dangerous. We had much more of the ball. We were much more dangerous than we were against Man City.
So I don't think we deserve to lose this match and I'm sure that we scored before we win this game. But they score, they win, and finally I leave this stadium with Arsenal fans happy. It's the first time I see them smile, I see them enjoy, and they deserve it because they are an amazing club and amazing fans also deserve some joy.
Last one, quickly, top four gone now, all on Europa League.
Yeah.
