Mikel Arteta is holding onto hope for Arsenal’s title ambitions, even as they trail Liverpool by a significant 15 points. Following a 1-1 draw with Manchester United, Arteta expressed the need for his team to win every match moving forward but is not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
The recent decline in points, according to Arteta, stems from a lack of effectiveness in front of goal. He commended the team’s effort at Old Trafford but insisted that they must do a better job of seizing scoring opportunities.
In a post-match chat with Sky Sports, Arteta exhibited his frustration when pressed about the title race, abruptly leaving the interview. The match saw Bruno Fernandes score from a free-kick, a goal that was made possible by a controversial decision from the referee to reposition Arsenal’s defensive wall, underscoring the tactical nuances that can alter the game.
With this draw, United now sits at 34 points with 10 matches remaining. Ruben Amorim praised Fernandes for his influence on the team, while also voicing concerns about Leny Yoro’s foot injury and his fitness for their upcoming Europa League clash with Real Sociedad.
Despite the hurdles Arsenal faces in their quest for the title, Arteta’s determination remains steadfast. His belief in the team’s resilience and fighting spirit will be essential as they navigate the final stretch of the season, aiming for success in the matches ahead.
