A fair result in the end, as Arsenal lacked penetration.
Rice's goal was unstoppable from Timber's pass, but Onana wasn't really tested that much in United's goal, aside from a near post effort from substitute Martinelli.
It was all about the dead balls, in the end. Arsenal's were cleverly worked but poorly delivered by the setpiece takers so it's down to a lack of quality or tiredness.
Lots of fans are complaining about a lack of squad rotation but that's what happens if you keep your powder dry in transfer windows.
Heaven could have given Arsenal a chance from the penalty spot had his double handball that looked like something from volleyball been penalised, but VAR wasn't going to come to the rescue. It never does, especially for an away team at Old Trafford.
The league is lost now, but staying in second would be an achievement.
