Arteta and Amorim celebrate managerial milestones with straightforward 2-0 victories as both clubs take care of business.
On a Saturday where the focus was on the title race, both Arsenal and Manchester United handled their business with minimal fuss, securing identical 2-0 victories over West Ham and Sunderland, respectively.
The wins provided a perfect way for both managers to mark significant personal milestones. Mikel Arteta celebrated his 300th game in charge of Arsenal with a win, while Manchester United’s Ruben Amorim oversaw a victory in his 50th match at the helm.
At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal overcame a stubborn West Ham side that held firm for much of the first half. The deadlock was finally broken just before halftime by former Hammer Declan Rice, who coolly slotted home a rebound. The points were sealed in the second half when Bukayo Saka, on his 200th Premier League appearance, confidently converted a penalty. The only dampener on the day was an injury to captain Martin Odegaard, who was forced off for the third consecutive home game.
Meanwhile, at Old Trafford, Manchester United enjoyed what has become a rare commodity: a routine home win.
They set the tone early, with Mason Mount opening the scoring in the eighth minute. The lead was doubled by Benjamin Sesko, who tapped in from close range for his second goal in as many games. The afternoon was capped off by a clean sheet for debutant goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who enjoyed a dream first appearance for the club.
With the day’s early results settled, attention now turns to the evening’s blockbuster clash at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea host Liverpool in a match with major implications for the top of the table.
