Arsenal Come From Behind To Earn A Draw Against Manchester United
Declan Rice scored a crucial equalizer and then produced a goal-saving tackle to deny Rasmus Højlund a late winner to keep Arsenal’s faint Premier League title hopes alive in a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
In doing so, the Gunners took another step back from their already-slim Premier League title hopes.
The second-placed Gunners now sit 15 points behind runaway leaders Liverpool, albeit with a game in hand and a trip to Anfield still to come on May 10, so their title dream is hanging by a thread.
But Rice’s 74th-minute goal, which canceled out Bruno Fernandes’ first-half strike from a free kick, and his last-ditch challenge on Højlund on 84 minutes allowed Arsenal to avoid a defeat that surely would have ended their title hopes.
United also came close to winning in stoppage time, when a Fernandes shot from close range was clawed out by goalkeeper David Raya.
