Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal - 3 talking points as Rice rescues point for Gunners

Arsenal dropped points yet again in the league, this time to Manchester United in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

Arsenal once again is left lamenting the lack of a clinical goal scorer up front after a 1-1 draw against Manchester United that saw the visitors dominate the entire first half, only to be hit with a sucker punch by a Bruno Fernandes free kick on the stroke of half time.

Both Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard missed chances in the first half as the Gunners did as they pleased, but the lack of finishing came back to bite them through Fernandes' goal, and once again, Mikel Arteta's side was playing catch-up.

Declan Rice, who was close to being Man of the Match for the Gunners, pulled them level late in the second half, and then produced a game-saving tackle in injury time to preserve the point, but again, this is likely another game Arsenal should have won.

More dropped points for Arsenal (third straight game), as now this isn't a league title chase, it;s a top four consolidation race.

Rice Arsenal's star man

There isn't much more that needs to be said about Declan's performance other than it was world class.

At both ends of the ground, Rice was superb, often getting forward and being involved in the build up, his strike was sublime, so too was his last-ditch tackle in injury time.

He was everywhere at Old Trafford and was simply a joy to watch.
