On Monday, in the last and central matches of the 17th round of the English "Premier" league, "Man Utd" footballers in front of their fans narrowly defeated the London "Arsenal" team 1-0 and moved up to the first place in the tournament table.

In a fierce and beautiful battle, the only goal at the end of the second half, after a pass from Nani, was scored with a header by South Korean Ji-Sung Park.

In the 73rd minute, the "Red Devils" had a great opportunity to double the lead, when defender Gael Clichy handled the ball in the penalty area and referee Howard Webb awarded a penalty kick, but Wayne Rooney's shot went over the goal.

At the end of the match, the "Gunners" failed to launch a decisive attack, so the hosts maintained a minimal advantage, and the defeated "Arsenal" team dropped to the second place in the tournament table, which they share with the "Man City" club.
