In the 23rd round of the Premier League, the big clash in London was even more dramatic than fans expected. Manchester United played away against Arsenal, winning 3-2 and securing crucial three points. The match was decided by Mateus Cunha's decisive goal in the 87th minute.
After the game, Red Devils head coach Michael Carrick emphasized the team's hard work and character, not hiding his satisfaction with the players' performance on the field.
According to Carrick, the match was extremely difficult for the team. The reason is the opponent's pressure, the intensity of the game, and the high level of attention required in each episode. Comparing with last week's results, he openly stated that this time more resources, more strength, and more patience were spent on victory.
"The guys put in a lot of effort to win. I am proud of them. Today's game was much more difficult than last week's. I'm not saying it was easy last week, but we kept moving at our own pace throughout the entire game. This time, I had to put much more effort into achieving success," said Carrick.
As a reminder, on January 17th, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 2-0 in a home derby. Now, the 3-2 victory over Arsenal has served as another major psychological boost for Carrick's team.
In short, United successfully passed two major trials in a row. Most importantly, the team is giving fans a pleasant signal not only with the result, but also with their character, willpower, and perseverance even in the final minutes.
