Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta left a Sky Sports interview after a painful 1-1 draw at Manchester United. The draw put his team 15 points behind Liverpool, casting doubt on the Premier League title hunt.
After losing 1-0 at home to West Ham and drawing 0-0 at Nottingham Forest, the Gunners lost points for the third straight encounter. Arsenal controlled the first half but were punished by Bruno Fernandes’ stoppage-time free kick.
Declan Rice’s goal and David Raya’s second-half saves tied it 1-1.
That will not stop Arne Slot’s tenacious Reds from winning. Today’s last 20 meters efficiency was poor, Arteta stated. For significant parts, a lot of what the game demands at Old Trafford, we accomplished well.
At the end, you have to capitalise when the team is so dominant and superior than the opposition, but we didn’t tonight.
Then you have to overturn a result, which we know is hard, and you have to take greater risks and expose yourself. Then the game could have changed in the final minutes.”
