Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Arsenal: 5 Takeaways from the game

#1 Manchester United could benefit from the draw

United can return to the top 4

As the game ended with the score at 1-1, there were a lot of implications of the draw. The gap between the two North London rivals remained at 4 points, and neither were benefited by the result. For Tottenham, it meant that a title challenge was all but over. It also indicated that their position at 3rd in the Premier League was in real threat now.

For the Gunners, it was a disappointing outing when they were let down by a poor referring decision and missed chances. They lost significant pace in the race to the Champions League spots and failed to get close to the third place. But while both Tottenham and Arsenal shared the spoils, there was someone else who could reap the benefits from the draw.

Manchester United, before their game against Southampton, were 2 points behind Arsenal and 6 points behind Spurs. A win later on Saturday could lift them to 4th position and bring them to within 3 points of Spurs at 3rd place.
