Arsenal fight back to draw with Man Utd

Arsenal will secure third place in the Premier League if they beat Sunderland on Wednesday after Theo Walcott’s deflected cross gave them a late equaliser and a point at Manchester United.

Ander Herrera’s first-half strike gave United a lead they deserved in a game low on intensity with both teams already assured of places in next season’s Champions League.

Arsenal barely raised a gallop for the first hour but finally came to life in the closing stages and levelled when substitute Walcott’s cross was diverted past keeper Victor Valdes off Tyler Blackett.

Former Barcelona keeper Valdes was on for David De Gea, who went off with an injury on what may well be his final Old Trafford appearance as speculation mounts that he will make a summer move back to his native Spain with Real Madrid.

One man who looked like he was definitely saying farewell to Old Trafford was on-loan striker Radamel Falcao, who struggled badly for an hour before being replaced by Robin van Persie, taking time to wave to United’s fans as he walked off. — BBC Sport
