The Title Race Hopes of Arsenal Took a Bodily Jolt. It became very clear to add a little more gloom upon Arsenal’s dim hope. Capturing the Premier League when they were held to a 1-1 draw. Against Manchester United during one of the fights at Old Trafford last Sunday. The Gunners were raring to fire back after an earlier disappointing outing. Which saw Everton beat them, but into place. The enemies did that damage over the match against the strongest of them all.
The six-point difference
“At the end of the day, this has left Arsenal six points in front of Manchester City. Whose game in hand means that we can still fittingly say this is on-“title race. So Arsenal has a lot of holding up to do to keep that lead.”
Arsenal will be 4 points behind us come tomorrow, I hate title races.

Things started brightly for Arsenal as Bukayo Saka continued making threatening runs. Toward the Manchester United defense; however, his early efforts led to resounding responses from the Red Devils. As they closed into the match by netting an effortless goal from Alejandro Garnacho in the 27th minute.
Disappointment faced by Arsenal in their title race
They came back to be afforded numerous chances in the second half. But none proved lucrative, thus allowing Arsenal to settle for an even contest.
The Gunners‘ title charge took a heavy hit from Declan Rice’s last-minute equalizer in an 88th-minute finish. They did well but settled for an embarrassing draw. Their efforts were in vain since they failed to achieve this thing. Securing three points considering the entire duration of the match. We need to understand such cases. They need much better consistency and sharpness to take first chances.

Instead, they could have topped them by eight points at the top of the table, but they threw it all away. They could have been topped by eight in points at the top of the table instead, they threw it all away.
A win was what they were looking for, and the odds favored them. Arsenal just could not bring it back home.
If Arsenal drop points tonight, This title race will be boring😂

A draw at Old Trafford might not have put arsenal in the win column but it certainly added a needed point to their race for the title. They were adamant and not giving way to weakness and came back to win it; yet The Gunners will have much more to give and will need consistency in their performances. If they want to consider themselves champions come May.
Author’s Opinion
It had to be a win for Arsenal. The situation is that they just haven’t. Now they have to convert chances, shoot that much more dynamically, and be very strong in defense.
Every Arsenal fan faced a bitter pill race, one that was meant to pave their way to a possible title. But that became such a nuisance they could never finish it up.
The draw at Old Trafford translates into grossly catastrophic blunders on the part of Arsenal. True, they still have fairly good chances at the title. But without winning games such as these, they would have no chances whatsoever.
Conclusion
Arsenal almost carried all three points home. In the latter half, defenders turned away Gabriel Jesus thrice. In the 88th minute, that sole powerful header from substitute Declan Rice. That changed all this into something very good for the morale of Arsenal. Giving the roadside Amy that much-needed point.
