Defiance from United on a day of protest against owners

Manchester United 1 - 1 Arsenal Declan Rice's stunning strike salvaged a point for Arsenal at Manchester United, but it did little to boost their fading hopes of catching Premier League leaders Liverpool. Author - Olivia T Stadium - Old Trafford Arsenal were dominant in the first half at Old Trafford but struggled to make their superiority count and were punished on the stroke of half-time when United captain Bruno Fernandes curled a superb 25-yard free-kick beyond David Raya, who had positioned himself poorly. Raya atoned for his earlier error with two excellent second-half saves to deny Noussair Mazraoui and Joshua Zirkzee, keeping Arsenal within touching distance as they pushed for an equaliser.

Liverpool 3 - 1 Southampton Mohamed Salah converted two penalties as Liverpool came from behind to defeat bottom-club Southampton for the second time this season, stretching their lead at the top of the Premier League to 16 points. Author - William G Stadium - Anfield The Reds were far from their fluent best following their energy-sapping late win over Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, but at this stage of the campaign, securing results is all that matters. This latest victory moves them another step closer to the title, while Southampton remain in serious danger of recording the lowest Premier League points tally in history. The visitors dared to dream when Will Smallbone capitalised on a calamitous mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and Alisson to squeeze the ball in from a tight angle.

Arsenal 1 - 0 Ipswich Town Kai Havertz netted the decisive goal as Arsenal edged past Ipswich Town with a narrow 1-0 win, moving up to second in the Premier League table. Author - DJ The German's seventh goal of the season proved crucial for the hosts, who were playing their first game without star winger Bukayo Saka, sidelined now for many weeks. The result handed Ipswich their fifth defeat in six matches. Arsenal broke the deadlock midway through the first half when Havertz was perfectly positioned to slot home Leandro Trossard's pinpoint cross. Gabriel Magalhães squandered a chance to extend the lead, heading wide from a corner just after the hour mark. However, the Gunners comfortably managed their slim advantage to secure the win. Mikel Arteta's team leapfrogged Chelsea and Nottingham Forest into second place, six points behind leaders Liverpool, who have played one game fewer. Meanwhile, Ipswich remain stuck in 19th, three points away from safety and 17th-placed W...
