Frustrated Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta refused to concede the Premier League title despite Sunday's 1-1 draw at Manchester United leaving his side 15 points behind leaders Liverpool.

The Gunners dropped points for the third straight match as the 1-0 home loss to West Ham and 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest were compounded on a day of protest at Old Trafford.

Arsenal dominated the first half but were made to pay for their lack of attacking threat when Bruno Fernandes scored a stoppage-time free-kick.

Declan Rice's strike and some key David Raya saves in the second half saw them leave with a 1-1 draw, which does little to stop Arne Slot's relentless Reds marching towards the title.

"Today the efficiency we had in the last 20 metres wasn't good enough," Arteta said.

I don't think it's the right moment to talk about that anyway."

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has been speaking about Bruno Fernandes' free-kick this afternoon.

The Man United captain scored an excellent free-kick for his side to help them draw 1-1 with Arsenal.

However, despite having a giant wall, Fernandes manged to get the ball over easily, and Eriksen believes it is because the wall was further back than it should have been.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I was happy that the wall was about 15 metres away.

"I noticed before the kick that they were far back, and it was the same for when they had one in the second half [Martin Odegaard]

"But I think it was just beneficial for us.

"It makes a big difference because you don't need to hit it as high, meaning Bruno had a bit more space to put it over the wall."

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has been spotted with strapping on his right ankle after coming off this afternoon.

The England international was substituted before the end of Los Blancos' match against Rayo Vallecano.

Bellingham made it to the 86th minute before he was taken off by Carlo Ancelotti.

Immediately, strapping and an ice pack were applied to his leg.

After the match, Ancelotti said: "It was a blow, nothing serious."

However, with the Champions League tie against Atletico coming up, he will be closely monitored.

We may never know if Mikel Arteta has now conceded Arsenal’s chances at winning the Premier League title.

That’s because the Gunners boss made a noticeably early exit when asked if his side were too far behind leaders Liverpool following Arsenal’s draw at Manchester United.

The 1-1 draw at Old Trafford leaves Arsenal 15 points off the pace with just ten games remaining.

We need to keep pushing, and we still believe in ourselves."

The referee blows the final whistle, and the spoils are shared.

It's a point that Manchester United are likely to appreciate more, while Arsenal lost even more ground to Liverpool.

The equation for the Reds is now they need 16 points from their remaining games to be crowned champions.

The first 45 minutes was horrific until Bruno Fernandes blasted in an excellent free-kick on the stroke of half time.

That set up a much more open second 45 minutes, and both teams had chances.

But the Gunners did get the equaliser through an excellent Declan Rice strike.

However, despite huge opportunities at either end, the match ends as a draw.

Wow!

What a couple of chances!

Myles Lewis-Skelly plays a pass infield to Leandro Trossard, and he rolls it along the area to Martin Odegaard.

The Arsenal captain tries to pick out the bottom corner, but Andre Onana gets down.

However, he pushes it out only as far as Gabriel Martinelli, who lashes it over the bar from four yards.

But Man United sense they can get the winner, and they charge down the other end.

The ball comes to Noussair Mazraoui who picks out Bruno Fernandes in the box.

He looks certain to score, but David Raya denies him brilliantly.

The ball then loops back towards goal, but the Spaniard claws it out.

Big opportunities at both ends go begging!

Initially, Mikel Merino gifts possession to Rasmus Hojlund inside the Arsenal box.

He takes a touch to get the ball out of his feet, but it allows Declan Rice to lunge and produce a magnificent tackle.

The Gunners then break through Kieran Tierney.

The Scotsman picks out Leandro Trossard with a stunning pass, and the Belgian fires wide from just inside the box.

Rasmus Hojlund is robbed of the ball in midfield.

Mikel Merino lifts a wonderful pass over to Gabriel Martinelli.

He has Leandro Trossard screaming for a pass at the far post, but the Brazilian goes for goal from a tight angle.

He drives in a shot that Andre Onana pushes around the near post.

JUST LIKE THAT!

Well, Man United were looking quite comfortable, but the Gunners have equalised.

Jurrien Timber carries the ball down the right and gets into the box.

He picks out Declan Rice on the edge of the area, and he lashes in a shot off the inside of the post.

Kieran Tierney comes on for Thomas Partey, while Man United introduce Rasmus Hojlund and Toby Collyer for Joshua Zirkzee and Christian Eriksen.

Meanwhile, Noussair Maraoui is allowed to break his fast.

With just under 20 minutes to go, Raheem Sterling is still sat on the Arsenal bench.

And he's not going to be the next change either because Mikel Arteta has Kieran Tierney ready to come on.

The Gunners are desperate for a goal, but they still aren't turning to Sterling.

Man United are dropping deeper as the game goes on, but are holding on quite comfortably.

Two changes for Arsenal as Gabriel Martinelli returns from injury, and he comes on for Ethan Nwaneri, who struggled to get into the game.

The other change is at left-back as Myles Lewis-Skelly enters the field.

Riccardo Calafiori is the man to make way as Mikel Arteta searches for an equaliser.

Stunning stop from David Raya!

Manchester United break down the left through Diogo Dalot.

The Portuguese international lofts a cross to the far post, and there is Noussair Mazraoui.

The Moroccan international connects with a volley that he thinks is destine for the net, but Raya sticks out a leg and diverts the ball behind for a corner that is cleared.

That was an unbelievable stop, and just how important could it prove to be?

Arsenal win a corner that is taken short and laid back to Martin Odegaard.

The captain takes aim from range and whips a shot towards the top corner.

The referee thinks that Andre Onana got a touch on it, so it's another corner.

This time, Odegaard pings it to Declan Rice on the edge of the box.

He is all alone but sends a volley flashing over the bar.

One change for Man United at half time as former Arsenal man Ayden Heaven comes on for his Premier League debut.

Leny Yoro is the one to go off.

Yoro had been struggling near the end of the first half, so obviously, he couldn't carry on.

Heaven moved to Old Trafford from the Emirates in January.

That is the end of the first half, and Manchester United somehow have the lead.

It wasn't as if they were bad because they defended well, but as an attacking force, they were a non-entity.

However, a silly foul by Leandro Trossard allowed Bruno Fernandes to step up and smash in a free-kick from 25 yards.

Arsenal have had all the ball and basically sat in the Man United half, but they have nothing going on up front.

They've come close through Leandro Trossard and Mikel Merino, but Mikel Arteta's side need more threat.

OUT OF NOTHING!

Bruno Fernandes has just provided a moment of pure magic to put Manchester United in the lead.

Riccardo Calafiori gifts possession in his half, and Leandro Trossard drags Alejandro Garnacho down.

The Man United captain steps up from 25 yards and sends his effort flying over the wall and into the back of the net.

That was the home side's first shot on target, but what a strike!

That is a great effort!

Arsenal work the ball down the left through Leandro Trossard and Riccardo Calafiori.

The latter's pass is a bit behind Declan Rice, but he squeezes it back to Gabril Magalhaes.

The Brazilian the picks out Trossard with a stunning pass that is matched by an equally great touch.

The touch creates the space for Trossard to cut inside and let fly, and he is inches away from finding the top corner.

We are nearly 30 minutes into this game, and the home side are yet to have a shot on target.

In fact, Man United have had just one shot from Alejandro Garnacho that went well wide.

Ruben Amorim's team are struggling to keep hold of the ball and create anything.

However, Arsenal haven't been that much better, with that Mikel Merino strike the only effort of note.

Watching on is Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who appears in good spirits despite what he is watching...

Very close to an opener!

Martin Odegaard starts the move inside the Man United half with a good run.

He plays a one-two with Declan Rice on the edge of the area and is stopped in the box.

The ball runs for Mikel Merino, and he takes a touch inside past one defender before drilling a strike wide of the near post.

Nearly an absolutely shambolic start from Man United!

Ethan Nwaneri closes Diogo Dalot down, and the ball bounces across the home side's penalty area.

Casemiro and Victor Lindelof get in each other's way, allowing Mikel Merino to nip in.

But before the Spaniard can get a shot away, Andre Onana pounces on the ball.

Arsenal get us underway in the evening sunshine at Old Trafford.

They have turned the hosts around, so they'll be attacking the Stretford End.

Incredibly, Ruben Amorim is still looking for his first back-to-back wins as Man United head coach.

Meanwhile, this is Mikel Arteta's 200th Premier League match as manager.

There are currently 21 points separating Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League table.

That is an incredible gap between the two, but the Gunners do trail Liverpool by 16 points at the top, showing just how good the Reds have been.

However, it is very rare you see these two English giants so far apart, and it will be Man United's job to narrow the gap on the field today.

Ruben Amorim's side have already beaten Arsenal this season in the FA Cup, while they've managed good results against Manchester City and Liverpool.

This shows they have the ability to raise it, but it remains to be seen what Man United turn up.

A section of Manchester United fans have walked up to Old Trafford this afternoon to protest against the Glazers.

The 1958 Supporters Group organised the peaceful march in the week and are wearing all black to signify what they see as the death of their football club.

The fans believe the club is in the worst place it has been since the Munich Air Disaster and blame the club's American majority owners.

The arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe as a minority shareholder at Man United has seen a lot of attention deflected away from the Glazers.

But the 1958 group want to remind everyone who is responsible for where Man United are right now.

The Red Devils are in the bottom half of the table and face Arsenal this afternoon - a game that traditionally decided the Premier League title.
