Comments:

League position: 4th Arsenal had now taken 101 points from 55 games in the Premier League since 1 January 2021 (won 31, lost 16). The Gunners avoided losing league games on three consecutive Saturdays for the first time since 1992. Bukayo Saka became the first Englishman to score for Arsenal on St George's Day since Ray Parlour in the Premier League at Watford in 2000. [c/o Tom Ede] Eddie Nketiah scored in the 27th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 6th Manchester United had now lost four consecutive away league games for the first time since March 1981 in League Division One. The Red Devils had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games in all competitions. Cristiano Ronaldo became the fourth player to score 100 goals in the Premier League for United after Wayne Rooney (183), Ryan Giggs (109) and Paul Scholes (107). He had now scored 100 or more goals in the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, La Liga and in internationals. Manchester United were awarded a penalty in the 56th minute following a VAR review for handball. Bruno Fernandes missed the subsequent spot-kick.
