Manchester United vs Arsenal - final score and betting result

OLD TRAFFORD, MANCHESTER - Manchester United beat Arsenal 1-0 at Old Trafford tonight with Ji-Sung Park scoring the decisive goal and Wayne Rooney missing a penalty in what was generally a dull game.

The first 40 minutes of the game were from sparkling but a minute later Park broke the deadlock after a Nani cross hit Clichy and was deflected into Park's path, allowing him to head home and take the lead.

Manchester United were best priced at Evens (bet £10 to make £10 profit) to win tonight and were 8/1 to win 1-0. Under 2.5 goals was a 10/11 chance. Manchester United to be winning at half time and full time was on offer at 9/4.
