Van Persie hails 'fair result', Ferguson bemoans lack of penalty

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie claimed his side “wanted it more” after the Gunners blew the Barclays Premier League title race wide open this afternoon with a 1-0 home win over leaders Manchester United.

Aaron Ramsey’s second-half goal – his first since January 2010 – saw United’s lead remain at just three points from Chelsea, whom they face next week at Old Trafford.
