🎥 Remembering when Arsenal sealed the PL title at Old Trafford
With the 2025/26 Premier League fixtures announced earlier this week, it's worth remembering that Manchester United vs Arsenal remains one of the standout games on the calendar.
In fact, Mikel Arteta's side will open their account at Old Trafford on August 17, and while the trip comes early in the campaign, it's a ground where Arsenal have previously won the Premier League.

In May 2002, Frenchman Sylvain Wiltord scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over the Red Devils to seal the 2001/02 league title - a season in which Arsenal completed the domestic double, having won the FA Cup just days earlier.
A mistake from United's Mikaël Silvestre allowed Wiltord to collect the ball in midfield.
Arsenal's No.11 then picked out Freddie Ljungberg with an exquisite pass, before firing home the rebound after his teammate's initial effort was saved by United goalkeeper Fabien Barthez
It was a decisive goal at a crucial moment for the Gunners, who secured the title that day before lifting the trophy a week later at Highbury following a win over Everton.

Elena Rybakina's coach cleared by WTA Tour to return from suspension
The coach of 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina has been cleared by the WTA Tour to return from his suspension for a potential breach of its code of conduct. Stefano Vukov was provisionally suspended in January while the tour conducted an investigation. It announced in February that had been completed and that the ban remained in place, without saying how long it would last. The organization said Friday that Vukov would again be permitted to receive credentials allowing him access to player areas and practice courts at its events. 'The WTA is fully committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all athletes and other participants, as set out in our WTA Code of Conduct and Safeguarding Code,' the tour said in a statement. 'Any sanctions issued following a breach of these safeguarding rules are carefully considered and are subject to appeal before an independent tribunal. While case details remain confidential, we can confirm that Mr. Vukov is eligible to receive credentials at WTA events.' The New York Times first reported that Vukov's ban had been lifted. Rybakina announced before last year's US Open that Vukov would no longer be her coach, but then said before the Australian Open that he would be rejoining her team. She insisted that he had never mistreated her during their time working together. Rybakina, ranked No. 10 on the WTA Tour, just reached the semifinals of the National Bank Open in Montreal before losing to Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko, the eventual champion.
