Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has refused to concede the Premier League title race after his team fell 15 points behind Liverpool following a 1-1 draw at Manchester United.
Declan Rice’s strike in the 74th minute cancelled out Bruno Fernandes’ opener in first half stoppage time.
But neither side were able to conjure up a winner in a frantic finale at Old Trafford.
The Gunners still have a game in hand on Liverpool, but now face a mammoth task in their attempts to clinch a first league crown since 2004.
When asked whether the race was now over, Arteta said: “I don’t want to say that.
“Today the frustration is that we haven’t won the game.
“We know the urgency and we are obligated to win every single match if you want to have any chance of doing that. I don’t think it is the right moment to talk about that.”
Arsenal’s next league clash will be against Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday.
