Arteta Frustrated as Arsenal's Title Hopes Dented by Draw Against Man United

Posted : 10 March 2025

Mikel Arteta was visibly frustrated after Arsenal managed only a 1-1 draw against Manchester United, a result that many believe has all but ended their Premier League title aspirations. With ten matches remaining, Arsenal sit second in the table, trailing Liverpool by 15 points, though they have a game in hand.

 

Arteta stormed away from a post-match interview, lamenting his team’s inability to capitalize on their dominance, particularly after Declan Rice’s second-half equalizer failed to inspire a winning goal.

 

The Arsenal manager expressed his disappointment at the missed opportunities, criticizing his team's lack of precision in the final third. He noted that United, struggling in 14th place, were visibly fatigued in the second half but still managed to hold on.

 

 "They didn’t want to play," Arteta said, emphasizing his frustration with Arsenal’s inability to break through. Pundits, including Roy Keane, suggested the draw signaled the unofficial end of Arsenal’s title hopes, highlighting their lack of cutting edge in attack.

 

Controversy also arose over Bruno Fernandes’ goal from a free kick, with Rice and Arteta both questioning whether the wall had been positioned too far back. Fernandes jokingly claimed the wall was “about 15 metres” away, despite regulations stating it should be 10 metres.

 

Rice admitted it felt further than usual, but ultimately, Arteta acknowledged that Fernandes had taken advantage of the situation, calling football "a game for clever people." The result leaves Arsenal needing a near-perfect run to keep their faint title hopes alive.
