Owen Hargreaves’ free kick gave Manchester United a 2-1 victory over Arsenal on Sunday. Manchester United had to come from behind at Old Trafford after Emmanuel Adebayor turned home a cross by Robin van Persie.
But Cristiano Ronaldo scored on a twice-taken penalty kick six minutes later after a hand ball by Arsenal defender. Manchester United’s 25th victory gave the club 80 points from 34 games and a six-point advantage over Chelsea, which hosts Wigan on Monday. Arsenal is nine points behind, and manager Arsene Wenger admits his team’s title chances are over.
