10-man United beat Arsenal in thriller to keep heat on City


LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester United held on with 10 men after Paul Pogba's late dismissal to beat Arsenal 3-1 in a pulsating game at the Emirates Stadium on a day when Liverpool and Chelsea also kept up the heat on Premier League leaders Manchester City.

With Pep Guardiola's free-flowing side not in action until Sunday, second-placed United closed the gap at the top to five points with a thrilling display that belied manager Jose Mourinho's reputation as overly defensive away from home.
