Premier League title challengers Arsenal endured yet another frustrating outing at Old Trafford on Sunday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by United. Bruno Fernandes handed the hosts the lead at the stroke of half-time, but Declan Rice's world-class second-half strike sealed a point for the Gunners. The Red Devils could have even won the clash if not for David Raya's safe pair of hands that bailed his side out.

After the frustrating draw, Sky Sports journalist Patrick Davison quizzed Arteta on the title race, as the North London outfit are now 15 points adrift of league leaders Liverpool. The question miffed the Spaniard as he furiously walked out of the TV interview. Arteta, however, responded to the same question in his post-match press conference.
WHAT MIKEL ARTETA SAID
Speaking to reporters, Arteta said: "I don't want to say that [the title race is over], but today the frustration is that we haven’t won our game. We know the urgency, and you’re obligated to win every single match. You won’t have any chance of doing that, I don’t think it’s the right moment to talk about that."
