This result puts both teams in a difficult situation. Arsenal remain one point behind Chelsea and risk dropping to third place in the table if Man City win their match in this round (the Man City vs. Sunderland game was postponed due to weather conditions).
Meanwhile, Manchester United are in an even more difficult situation. The Red Devils currently have only 42 points and are 11 points behind Liverpool, who came from behind to beat Fulham 3-2. Even Tottenham are now 8 points ahead of Manchester United after their 4-0 victory away at Newcastle.
In Spain, Barcelona made their "dream final" against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey a reality after drawing 1-1 with Real Sociedad in the second leg of the semi-final. Barcelona secured their place in the final with an aggregate score of 3-1.
In this match, Lionel Messi continued to demonstrate his incredible return by scoring the opening goal in the 27th minute.
Meanwhile, in Germany, Bayern Munich proved too strong for the rest of the pack, securing a resounding 5-0 victory away at Hamburg SV in the quarter-finals of the German Cup. In contrast, Leverkusen suffered a surprising 0-1 defeat at home to lower-division side Kaiserslautern.
