Owen Hargreaves celebrates putting Man Utd ahead
Hargreaves celebrates his terrific winner at Old Trafford
Manchester United went six points clear at the top of the Premier League after coming from behind to beat Arsenal in a pulsating encounter at Old Trafford.
Arsenal were on top for long spells but striker Emmanuel Adebayor wasted some gilt-edged chances, before he appeared to use his arm to open the scoring.
United levelled through a twice-taken Cristiano Ronaldo penalty after William Gallas had handled in the Arsenal box.
Owen Hargreaves won it with 20 minutes to go with a superb 25-yard free-kick.
The result all-but ends Arsenal's hopes of winning the title and after their Champions League exit at the hands of Liverpool in midweek, means they will end a third successive season trophyless.
