During the Sunday's central England "Premier League" XXXV round match in London, "Arsenal" players played a draw 1-1 in front of their own fans with the already crowned champions "Manchester United".
Lined up in the corridors of the "Emirates" stadium and greeted the "red devils" with twenty national championship trophies, the hosts already at the beginning of the first half declared that they would not give up to this season's winners - in the second minute Theo Walcott scored a goal into David De Gea's defended net.
However, video replays showed that the goal should not have been counted, as the English national team's fullback was in a slight offside position.
Sir Alex Ferguson's pupils restored balance before the break. Bacary Sagna made a double mistake - first the Frenchman made an inaccurate pass, and then trying to rectify the situation in the penalty area he unlawfully brought down Robin van Persie.
The striker did not help his former team, which is fiercely fighting for a place in next year's UEFA Champions League tournament, and successfully scored from the penalty spot.
The league's top scorer, booed by the home fans, scored his 25th goal.
In the second half of the match, "Man Utd" players already had a gameplay advantage, but they did not convert their chances and the match ended in a draw.
This result buried Manchester's club's mini-task of reaching the "Premier League" points record, which will continue to belong to the London "Chelsea" team.
Today, at "Stamford Bridge" stadium, with a score of 2-0, they defeated "Swansea" and rose to third place in the tournament standings.
In the ranks of the winners, Oscar scored accurately at the end of the first half and Frank Lampard, who took to the field after replacing the injured Ramires, converted a penalty.
This round also revealed that "Reading" and "Queens Park Rangers" clubs will have to say goodbye to the "Premier League". The day's match between the outsiders ended without goals, and both teams lost their chances to climb higher than eighteenth place.
Tomorrow, in the last round of matches, Birmingham's "Aston Villa" and "Sunderland" will face each other.
